The designs for my sewing and craft room have been made! Brian told me to draw them up and he will make them a reality! OK, the measurements are not exact. They are close, but he'll figure all that out, he's the expert. Once I had the dimensions of the Murphy bed, all I had to do was figure out what else I want. The dotted line shows the space the bed will take when dropped from the wall.
Definite:
~I will store my fabrics upright using comic book boards.
~I will use glass jars to store all my colorful things like scribbles paints, embroidery floss, zippers, buttons, etc...
~The craft table (which I'm thinking will actually be bigger than in this plan) will have to be counter top height and must be able to easily fold down when guests stay, which isn't very often.
~I will be able to remove all my craft and sewing books from the closet and put them on the book shelves.
~My world pin map will be hanging to the right of the window.
~He will build a little bed for Punkie because she loves that room and I will make a cushy and comfy pillowtop for it. I haven't told him this part yet, but he reads my blog.
Below is an example of what the comic book boards and fabric storage looks like. I love it! It will make choosing fabric so much easier than my present system of dragging out the big Rubbermaid storage bins!
I'm taking more ideas so if you have any, I'd love to hear them!!!
Your craft room is going to ROCK! So happy for you :D Tell Brian to get busy!
ReplyDeleteoo--I like that comic book board idea!
ReplyDeleteActually, I stole it from the Internet. It seems like a lot of people are doing it.
DeleteSher, you are so lucky!! I bet your new craft room will look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to store the fabrics upright. I have mine sorted by collection.
Love the idea of storing haberdashery in glass jars :)
You will LOVE your new girl cave!! It will be so inspiring to see your colorful fabrics and notions on display.

Lucky you! How wonderful to have a room of your own -- isn't that what Virginia Woolf said all women need? Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring plan - lucky you to have someone on hand to translate your ideas into reality. Enjoy the space and creative urges once the project is complete. Look forward to seeing the end results!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I can't wait to see the finished product. I like how you are going to leave things out so the colors of them will show--isn't that so inspiring?
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas. I hope you'll be taking pictures when it's all done. Great idea for storing the fabrics. I don't think I know what comic book boards are though
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I'm hoping for a sewing room redo this year and I'm planning to use the comic boards. It would be so much easier than the totes or even having the fabric stacked. Can't wait to see the finished room!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is great! I can't wait to see pictures of your new sewing room!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of storing your fabric upright using comic book boards. What a way to be inspired when you walk into a room and see rows of fabric just waiting for you!
It looks great, Sher! How awesome that Brian's going to do this. I love how Punkie will have her own space there. The fabric storage will be perfect. Best of luck with everything.
ReplyDeleteYour plans look great, and all of your storage ideas sound so organized... Perfect! Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished room. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting! Can't wait to see the work in progress. I like the fabric storage idea, but I don't think I want to tackle the job of folding all my fabric...lol.
ReplyDeleteLooks great; you must be so excited!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful project! I guess you cannot wait to start working in your new craft room!
ReplyDeleteAs for Howard the owl - he's so cute and funny! I'm in love with him!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like you've done some great planning - looks awesome! Good luck setting everything up!

I am envious of anyone who has a craft room! We're moving by the end of the year, and I really hope I'll have space for one at our next place. I think that's part of the reason I don't work on my Etsy shop or any of my crafts as much as I'd like to; having to pack everything up when I'm done (I work at the dining table) is so inconvenient.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea for storing fabric!
Oh, the plan looks so neat! Now that you have made so much progress, I wish you to have your craft room finished soon, and the inspiration to get space to spread its wings!
