Very nice,love all your white cabinets.I learned something new today,what a Tallitot is.LOL I read it and thought what the heck is that,so i put it in the search engine.They say you learn something new everyday and i find it so true.

So tell me,what steps are involved in painting a floor,how long does it take and is it hard to do??? I need to do something to the floor in my sewing,excuse me,my studio.I don't want carpet,not even industrial because i also tole paint in there.Hadn't thought of paint,but it sound interesting.So please tell!!

Thanks for sharing your room with us,i wish you many happy days in there and lots of projects.

Painting a floor was easier than I thought. First you clean it well and let it get bone dry. They then suggest sanding it but I skipped that option. Next I added one coat of white primer that prevents bleed through of any existing stains ( of which there were many) I let that dry over night. Then I rolled on two coats of floor paint. Each coat sep by a day. I also painted the disgusting shoe molding sage green... it was a discolored mustard color. I used a matte finish but a semi gloss would work too. It has a beach cottage feeling now and I really enjoy letting silk drape along the easy-to-sweep up spiffy floor.

Your studio is wonderful, when everything is in a place to just reach or grab, that helps so much, I can't help it but I want to say "Be fruitful and multiply" quilting, we need to see projects. LOL Rene

That's one sharp "clubhouse"!

Wanna come clean mine? I'll let you take the scraps home...

;)

It's nice, Real nice!!!

I am so envious!! Congratulations, it must be wonderful to have everything organized and right where you know it is. Love it!! It sounds like you are very talented in sewing and renovating. Just curious...do you make your own fabric...I got that impression from reading your post. Enjoy your new digs!!

hi leona, i don't weave but i paint and embellish fabric and turn them into garments or home linens. thanks for the nice note.

i am currently reupholstering dining room chair with a tone on tone moss green fabric i added swirls to. then i will paint the room deep berry red.

I'm very impressed. I would love to have a craft/sewing studio separate from the rest of the house! Your studio is just perfect.

I'd like to hear about & see where everyone else sews.

I turned our never used dining room (only 10 x 14)into my studio. I used white cabinets too, but could use more and another closet, I have all my calico fabrics on shelves in the entryway closet which is about 10 steps from my studio, right next to a 1/2 bath/powder room.
I have my machines set up in front of a double window with a beautiful front yard view. I have porceline tile floors which are easy to keep clean and find dropped pins.
There is a door on a "cubby" space about 3 1/2' square and 2 to 4' high under the bottom 6 steps going upstairs that I will use for bulky stuff. It's sheetrocked in there & ready to paint, then I bought wood tiles for the floor.

Your pictures really made me want more cabinets NOW!

bev: i would love to see a photo of your sewing space. It's sounds serene and lovely. Mine is pretty busy. All those cabs had doors when the sewing room was part of the house. In fact I even for a while shared sewing space with a guest room. I have come a long way since then.

Movingwest....I know what you mean. Originally when we built this house the little space 7' x 4' under the stairs was my sewing nook.
I 've got a new digital camera that I don't know how to use yet. If I ever get time to figure it out and how to post pix I will post it.

Great Bev, I love to see photos.
