On August 21st 2011 I blogged about my sewing room ( link here) and the plans for it. We had just moved to Pennsylvania from California 4 months before and were still getting settled in but I knew this room needed a serious makeover.
Yikes look at that paint job!
After finding the perfect color of aqua the redesign began and the outcome was fabulous!! I could have not been more excited about my new work room space and how it was all coming together.
Then in another post came the shelves, a little corner office work area and I even duct taped my daughter to make a custom dress form...lol (link here)
I really loved my new improved beautiful room with a door that I could close to keep the rif raf out while I worked. For the past {almost} three years it has served me well but the past few months it has felt very cramped and suffocating. My business is growing and I need to grow with it. So what to do?
One day I was talking to hubby about possibly switching rooms with my youngest daughter M. She caught wind of it and was totally on board! This was a solution that would work for many reasons. Besides me needed a bigger room, her and C really were on top of each other constantly and the bickering was getting out of control. So moving M downstairs and letting C have full run of the upstairs was an idea we could not pass up.
While I was sad to leave my custom painted room, I was so excited about the extra space. I had been down sick for a week but I wasn't going to let that stop me on moving day. I worked my butt off (which later would cause me to relapse) and got it done!

Now my daughters room we painted purple and pink when we moved in. I first thought I would want to change the color, but I am kind of liking the soft colors. So for now I will leave it
New fabric storage
Work area
Mail and notions area
Is still have room to work with and more storage pieces and maybe some fitting art work to buy, but I am so loving this new space. It has a much more open creative flow and I feel wicked inspired. How does M like her new room?
She loves it, especially the blue carpet...lol

I love what you have done. Glad you didn't repaint the room. The pink and purple combo is so pretty.
You've inspired me to do my own work room too - for my cookies! But then again, I'm out of rooms! Gotta wait 'til my son goes to college, then I can have his room!
I like purple and pink ...and it's so much work to paint a room so I say, yes, keep it! As for your daughter's blue...well, you might have to change those I suppose unless she decides that blue is her favorite color all of a sudden. LOL! My daughter and I just painted her room over Christmas. I still haven't sewn her curtains yet. It's such a process ya know? Little by little..no rush...
you have so much creative energy - the room swap worked out well!! Hope you are surving this cold winter in PA!
