It is finished!! It took an entire week from start to end, but the sewing room makeover is done. (Well, almost...I have a few things to hang up, but I haven't decided where to put them yet.) Last Monday, I started by moving everything out of the room and painting the walls grey. After breaking the sewing table and spilling a gallon of paint on the floor, which put me behind by a day, I finished painting.
Then I painted the lamp and bookshelf. I reassembled the
bookshelf with fabric on the back wall. I put together the
Ikea chaise longue, and
created a pressing table out of a TV tray. Then I used the big drill and fixed that sewing table good!

I think that the bookshelf was the most dramatic part of the project--from a cherry-colored particle board boring bookshelf to something exciting and fun to look at! I found the fabric at
Hancock Fabrics where all the home decor fabrics were 50% off--yea!!
The last thing I did, which was the first part of the project started, was to finish the fabric valences. I just adore them, right down to their little white pom-pom trim!

It is all wonderful!! I love the bookshelf and the pressing table especially !!!
It looks great! I'm so jealous that you have a sewing room AND a scrapbooking space.
This is what happens when one has no children!! Actually, both used to be in the sewing room, but when we got the basement done, I moved the scrapbooking stuff down there so I didn't have to hole myself away when I felt like scrapping. But the sewing machines are too loud to co-exist with living space. :)
