New work center shaping up






I thrive on color!
The more the merrier!
(of course they have to be
the RIGHT colors) ~~





My sweet husband and best friend in the whole wide world surprised me
with this handmade work table! Isn't that the best present ever!!!!?! He set it up for me on Saturday, and I set up my sewing machines side by side. I know the paint has hardly cured, but I was sooo excited I could hardly stand it!












I now have a BIGGER room.
I will show you some more snitches when the room shapes up and comes together. ~~

Ta-ta for now....back to the board.

It's me and Bach/Yo Yo Ma in the background.
Great work music.

Wow, what a great gift! I love all the color in this space. I'm insanely jealous. I think sprucing up my "space" is now at the top of my list. Thanks for the inspiration!

Just love your work station. We are cramped in our basement for space. I'm using an old closet style wine room (came with the house) for my sewing room and my laundry room is crafts, laundry, and anything else. I'm just getting to work on making it organized. I love these ideas! Thanks for sharing.

This room is so magazine worthy! I just love that red. Makes me want to do over all the white in my house.
