Sewing Room

Thursday, September 11, 2008

This is my sewing room. I love the colors chartreuse and periwinkle, I used them in my wedding and therefore had lots of left over topiarys and my bouquet. I wanted a place where I could craft with friends. I bought the shelf and the desk at Ikea. I love their Expedit series. I wish I could paint the walls in there, but alas, the house is up for sale and not everyone loves the green as much as I. I would love to paint it something like Timoty Straw (I absolutely adore this color, thanks Kimba). I should have cleaned it you a little first. Now that I look at it I think it may be a little busy and have too much going on, any ideas? The photo below is one of my favorite finds. I found the old wooden ironing board at a garage sale. It was already this color. How perfect. The sewing hoops were bought at the United Methodist Childrens Home sale last year, I am sure the woman in the craft room thought I was crazy. I have several more but I didn't want to do them all with the same green fabric. I keep on looking for some other fabric everywhere I go, but I havn't found the right one yet. I thought about stenciling on some of them. Any ideas here. At first I just wanted to put something in the room so I didn't look empty to potential buyers, now it seems that we will have to wait a while and I might as well make the room mine. With the exception of painting, I am up for anything to make this room look better.
