Sewing room Redo

Well here we are .  The before picture.  It looks much worse than this in person!

In the middle of painting.
I must say  this room looks a lot better is person.  I will probably never see it this clean again. 

This will be my little sitting corner.

I added two pegboards  to put things I use a lot.  I didn't like the raw edge showing so I  glued some yellow cording around it.

I found this chair for free!!!  Yippee.  I'm going to sand it down and paint it the color on the spray can.

I'm going to put some family photos on this wall so Susie won't be lonely.



I picked this up at Joann's at what I thought was a 50% off sale.  When I got home a realized it rang in at full price I took it back  , but i found out it wasn't on sale at all{I really need to look at the signs better!]  I decided to keep it anyway.

This little jewel I picked up at a salvage store.  I cost a whole 4 dollars.   I am going to paint the metal black and get a new lampshade.

This is going to be a little sitting area to do handwork, or look at patterns or just sitting.  I am going to take the arms off this chair and recover it.

I am going to recover that ugly chair with one of these.  I guess I shouldn't say ugly... I got the chair for free!!

Here is my press board that I recovered with a heavy yellow cotton.   I have loved this board.  It is a piece of pressed wood, covered with an old wool blanket and then covered with the cotton.  One more thing I am going to hang on the wall is a covered piece of soundboard that I am going to put all my race numbers from running on.  I am so excited about it I can't wait to show you.  

Well That's was a quick tour.  Hope you liked it.

  3. I am one of the envious ones. What a beautiful room!!! I absolutely love your pegboard and threads.Everything works in harmony. I have to say that I love the blue and white fabric on the left hand side which is touching the yellow fabric. That print on that chair would look awesome!
