My New Sewing Room!

Hey everyone! 

I have a super exciting post to share with you today, the transformation of our old storage room into a little sewing room! When I say little I mean little. It's about 2m x 2m but I love how cosy it is and I cannot wait to start decorating it more. It's a separate room off the house that you can only access through the garage, which means it has its own key to unlock it and everything!

We started clearing out the room at the end of April, and now at the end of June it's finally finished! I thought I would share some of the photos of the process with you all.

Unfortunately I never got a photo of the very beginning of the cleanout, but just imagine the fact that we couldn't get the door open more then about 30 centimetres. There was stuff everywhere and it took a couple of weekends to get it all out! After it was empty my dad painted the walls and the roof white while I sewed up a lace curtain to go over the windows.

Then last weekend we went to Ikea to get a couple of the essential bits of furniture! The desk, chair and shelf were my birthday presents for this year, and I spent a whole day putting them together on my own. Not bad for someone who's never made furniture before I thought! 

While I was building my dad attached a sheet of linoleum for the floor.

Then all that was left was to move in the furniture and start decorating! At the moment the walls are very white and very bare so I can't wait to find things to stick on them!

I have my desk and sewing machine (I swear I didn't realise it matched the desk and chair until after I bought them!) right under my window and a little rack with jars on it all containing different coloured buttons. I also have the sewing box my dad me next to the desk.

At the moment the shelves are pretty empty, but that's because I have convinced myself to go through and sort out my mountain of fabrics yet! When I do it'll probably be overflowing! All of the wool in the box was a gift from my grandma for my birthday, and I'm so excited just thinking of all the different things I can make with it!

Of course I just had to have a plant on the windowsill too, but I'm hoping to get heaps more too!

So that's my sewing room at the moment! It's pretty plain right now, but hopefully not for long!

Does anyone have any ideas of how I could decorate it?

I hope you liked my little look into my sewing room, and I'm hoping to start making a lot more things in there soon!
