Creating a Sewing Room Part 6

Happy Easter Everyone!

Well the sewing room has been on a bit of a hold until i get the wood for the sewing table. But had a bit of a inspiration, there was a hook on my wall that used to house a picture, I needed somewhere to put odd bits of paper and notes!

So to tie in with the fabric in the room, i covered a cork board with a bit of the same fabric to create a functional but fun pin board.


As the original photos were done when it was dark outside, i thought i would take some more, to see the difference



It is so much brighter and airy in there that i really can't wait to get in!

Creating a Sewing Room Part 5

I wanted something simple at the window because it will also be a spare room, and its a very sunny room, i wanted it to be something that would block a bit of light out but not totally!



Next are the lovely cushions that will sit on my new sofabed, made with a remanant of the blind fabric

Close up
And placed next to the feature wall

Well wallpapering time!! I was absolutely astounded to find this beautiful wallpaper at Homebase so perfect with its Silver Birch Trees.

Thank you to my husband for doing it, i brought 1 roll so there was not much room for error as you can see from the last photo which 1/2 a strip and 3 bits left over!


Next is the Roman Blind and cushions

Ok after lots of coats of paint 4 to be exact! and 2 coats on the ceiling the room was looking so much nicer and brighter!




Next was to hang the wallpaper!

Ok First things first was to get rid of the mint green walls!


This was the room after 1 coat of paint, looking so much better already!

I won't bore you with the 2nd and 3rd coats of paint! Next installment is after 4 coats of white paint and the ceiling having 2 coats of paint!





Creating a Sewing Room Part 1


I have been very quiet on here, been so busy with orders that i can not believe its nearly the end of April already!

I have been been keeping people up to date with the progress of my sewing room on Facebook, but thought i would do a progress on here.

So here goes, this is what the room looked like before i started.
Not very inspiring was it?
