Sewing room reveal

Its finally here! Between wedding planning, other home projects and life in general, I have finally managed to (mostly) complete the organization and layout of my sewing room!

There are still some minor things left to do, (we still need to put the doors back on the fabric hutch) but it is fully functional now and I can get back to sewing and coming up with new products for the shop.  So, without further ado, let me take you on a quick tour.

When you first walk in and turn to your right, there is a small bookshelf that holds my Tinker Bell nick knacks as well as some of my cook book and sewing books.

A few months back, I found these hanging wire baskets that I decided to hang here on the wall.  There is one for "magazines", "mail" and "stuff".

This is a quick way for me to keep important papers separate from my sewing stuff, and also an official place for The Fiance to put any mail that comes for me so it doesn't get lost.

Right next to that is my fabric hutch. (which The Fiance and I re-finished together)

Clearly, as I have said, the doors need to be put back on, and yes, I still need to finish the last 3 of my pattern storage boxes. All of this fabric has been calling my name for months and is just itching to made into something fantastic! I cannot wait to get started!

Next to the fabric hutch is my new Ikea shelving unit.  Its perfect for the TV/DVD player The Fiance gave me.  I like to have something on in the background while I sew.  Now, I am all set for watching FRIENDS or LOST or whatever other nerdy show I decide to re watch my way through. I liked this particular shelving unit because, rather than just a stand for the TV, it had shelves for extra storage, but still did not take up too much space.  I hit up an awesome sale at Michael's last week and got these super cute storage boxes. (currently holding wedding stuff)

Next up is my actual sewing table.  Its the same one from my old house.  Along with my beautiful sewing print hanging above.

I always think of FRIENDS when I look at it. (Any fellow FRIENDS nerds recognize this print? $5 discount coupon to my Etsy shop, for the first person to comment with the correct location where this print can be found on the show- GO!)

Next to that is my Ikea chair, or currently the storage place for my hand made star wars rag quilt and some freshly washed flannel that needs to be ironed. Any volunteers?

Right above that is a new addition to my sewing space.  A United States map! Stay tuned next week for further explanation.  Continuing on is my bookshelf. Pretty self explanatory I think.

Next to that is another new feature I added to my sewing space which I absolutely LOVE! My old "inspiration board" wasn't really working for the space I had.  On a trip to Michael's for some other crafting supplies, I was struck with an idea for a new, combo, inspiration/functional space. Michael's had 12x12 metal pegboards on sale.  I decided to combine these with 12x12 cork board squares, covered in fabric, to create an area that is decorative as well as useful. I just love how it turned out!

It also sits nicely above the fold out cutting table that was made for me by my good friend. Check out her creative adventures HERE.

The closet space is very much the same as my old closet space, with cubes for "project bins" to keep in progress projects from cluttering up my space. There is also plenty of space for my storage bins for keeping finished Etsy projects in prior to being sold. This is also where I keep more crafting supplies and scrapbooking items.

And of course, last but not least, no space of mine would be complete without this beauty inside the door.

The happy memories it brings of FRIENDS, both fictional and real, helps inspire me and my space as a place for fun a creativity. MY friends always inspire me to do my best and keep on creating! I love my new space and can't wait to get started on many new projects.
