Roomio, roomio, wherefore art thou.......

As a result of a Facebook discussion and a lack of consensus of the difference between a Sewing Room and a Studio, I have dubbed my space "My Roomio".  Always relegated to the dining room table, basement, or part of a bedroom, I was ready to have a space for just me.  I love the light and airiness of it and enjoy time just being there!!  Just a little tour......





My cutting table. Tall bookshelves store fabric too.  I still have some more to put in!


 Ironing/Entertainment corner.  Also the big orange quilt that is being quilted and the felt to make me a design wall.  I plan to attach it above the closet door and rig it so it can be rolled up for closet access.




Sewing area.




 This table is where my serger will live when I get it upstairs.



 The whole sewing area....



 Working corner....Comfy chair, Ott light, table with Ipod dock, phone, pincushion, etc.  I am looking for a larger surface table.  I keep a lot of junk sewing implements handy.

The new ironing board cover I made yesterday for my 50's ironing board.  It is a tank.  It used to be my Mother-in-law's and I love it!!

There is still plenty to do....but I can't wait any longer to hide begin sewing!!  My boys all had a hand in it.  Rick helped me carry stuff and assemble all the bookcases....all 10 of them!  Corey carried some stuff out that was going to live elsewhere. Chris picked up my hollow core slab doors and delivered them to me.   It took so long because I had to wait till the stars aligned to get my helpers available (and motivated) to help me.  But it has been worth the wait. 

I am excited to near giddy!!

Blessings,
Becky

I am guilty of studio envy. It looks wonderful, comfy, cozy, peaceful...happy. Enjoy it. I'll sleep there if I ever get to visit. Lane

Hi Becky,
Thank you so much for your kind and loving note about the passing of my sister. You are just so sweet.
I love your sewing/quilting room its a wonderful space and so well done.
I am still sewing on my dinning room table its the the biggest space I have to cut fabric and lay out my quilts. I am going to be starting on new quilt this weekend using Hawaiian fabric I bought while in Kauai.
Have a sweet day and big hugs for you, Elizabeth

Wow! What a great space! I had to move up to our office last year and lost my sewing room. It's kind of squishy in here.
