My New Room

There has also been some changes happening to my sewing room. My lovely Hubby decided I needed more storage....... Let's not read to much into that. My sewing room is at the moment happily lending space to the study and Hubby has decided that we don't need a study. Wooohooo all sewing room.
Off to Bunnings we tripped. An awful lot of flat pack boxes later and I have a room in progress. Below are 2 before pictures. Yes it is a bit messy..... I call it creative genius, outsiders call it messy. The desk has great surface space but not a lot of storage. The white cupboards will be staying. The desk going.

I have the best kids, they all jumped in to help their Dad. There was a heap of cupboards to be built. My 14yr old was showing my 10yr old how to use a drill. She was chuffed, she got to build some drawers. As you can see it is in all how you hold your tongue.


As I am writing this, I am putting the last few things away ready to take some pictures of the end result. I still have a design wall to build and my husband will be making some quilt hangers, at the moment I am using some screws that were already there.

This craft table has cupboards and draws on both sides, it is also on wheels so is totally movable. It fits my cutting mat with heaps of room to spare. And let me say that this will be the last time it will be seen without "creative genius".
 Check out the wheels, six of them - four locking so the table will stay still when needed.

Ruler cupboard, will get a stand made soon, not pushing my luck with Hubby at the moment.

the best bit is that the cupboards and work bench are kitchen bench tall, as I am on the taller side this will save my back. I am very happy to say that at the moment my cupboards are half full - with a craft show only 12 hours away...........

  6. Where did you get your craft table? It looks so functional, all I can find are tables that have too much wasted space and open shelving to collect dust bunnies :)
