The Sewing Room...

This is the room I was talking about helping to re-model at my parents house...
I wish I had taken BEFORE pictures for you to see the difference.
This room used to be yellow, and it used to have a bed for visitors. My mother decided she could make this the Sewing Room after Preston got into BYU-I and Sharon announced she was going to go on a mission... That free's up the other two rooms for a while for visitors! :)
 The above pictures are looking into the room from the hall.
 I love the chalk board Calendar she has on the wall walking into the room!
 Mom had found an idea of what she wanted for a cutting area... Matt made that idea happen. It may look simple, but finding a table top and shelving that fit was not easy. Dad helped Matt with the finishing touches! And I just had to show the little accents mom got!
 Mom also told Matt about the idea that she wanted a shelf around the top of the room. He ran with that as well; making sure what she wanted up there would fit and would hold the weight of her supplies... we made a few trips to Ikea and Lowe's making sure everything would be perfect!
Notice the corner table for her sewing machine... 
 She took cardboard and wrapped her extra fabric around it and put it in the shelving for the cutting table. It looks SO neat and colorful! 
 And I might be partial; but I LOVE the black and white accents with the Pink Painted Walls. The paint color is Pixi Dust Pink. The only reason I know is because this is the same color we used in my condo on my laundry and downstairs bathroom. LOVE that color!! 
 I also love the flowers and boxes that my mom found to match the room. The book case was made by my Grandpa Smith (my mothers father) it used to be just a nice wood finish. My mom painted it black so it would fit into the room! 
 These outside pictures are of the shelving units we got at Ikea to frame the corner sewing table. Matt and I assembled these together and we were laughing at the Swedish instructions! The middle one is her paper and cardstock holder, she also painted that black to match the book case.
Sewing Supplies and the Closet in the middle...
(i may have gotten a little picture taking happy...)
I had to leave a few notes in the room...
LOVE THE ROOM MOM!!

Oh my goodness!!!! I LOVE that room!!! The cutting table, Paris accents, storage, paint...I love it all! If I had to paint a room pink it would definitely be that color. I miss your pink bathroom :-). Great job :-D

Man, it turned out so awesome! I can't wait to see it in person. Plus cutting some vinyl for the walls is going to be fun!
