Sewing Room Redecorated

I think I'm finally as done as I'm going to be on this room!  Well, there is always room for more art on the walls and perhaps new carpeting, but for now... it is done.  Months ago I decided to start this project and then only had a few things left to do and didn't do them until this weekend.

The closet doors were those hollow sliders and they were ugly and brown.  I removed them!  You can read more about the closet makeover on yesterday's post if you missed it.
Here's what the closet looks like now....



So, following is the room as it is now.  I tried to take a picture from the door, around the room, and back to the door.  It was a fun project and is very whimsical and hand-crafted!

This is what you see as you walk in the door.... 
I painted the desk, topped it with a wider board, covered that board with heavy wrapping paper.... (the wine bottle is not wine although I wish I had some right now.... it is kitty catnip... called Meow Merlot).  Admittedly, this back wall could use more art on it, but that will happen as I find the right things for it.
   
 Made a skirt and cushion for the chair, made and ironing board cover and the basket behind the ironing board which houses my sewing books and magazines.
This is a close-up of those projects from a previous post.
 I also painted the mirror which is above the sewing machine.

 Around the corner we go.... I painted the dresser which holds my extra fabric, buttons and fillers.  Each drawer is lined with the wrapping paper and has different colored insides!  You can see more about the furniture painting & chair coverings and ironing board cover....HERE.
Here's the dresser.... Love how it turned out!
I made this sign which says "My Happy Place" and the owl pin cushion... and the cake plates.  Oh.. and the hearts from salt dough.
 Here is the closet I turned into a cutting area this weekend.  I'm loving it!!!  In this picture, I made the coffee filter puffs, the pillow, the pictures are scrapbook papers in frames with 3D stickers on the outside of the glass. 
I used a lid from one of the metal jars on the right to create the scallop near the ceiling. I traced it and then painted the ceiling and scallop red.  I then traced the edges with a Sharpie so it is outlined in black.


I also made the pocket organizer on the back of the door.  It is nice because when the door it open, it is right beside me where I cut my fabric, so I can have all of my tools in the pockets rather than on the table surface.

It was a lot of work, but I get inspired to create while I'm in this room, so I guess it was all worth it!

I love your color choices! I just reorganized my sewing room, too - and it took me almost two months! LOL I'm curious - how large is your room?

Tami the room is adorable. Love those colors. Love the ruffle in the closet. Sharpie now that's a girl after my own heart...lol. That little owl is another fav. Now is the mirror so you can apply makeup while you sew, I know your a multi-tasker! How about filling that extra wall space with framed artwork of the boy's (the ones that match). I will be placing my order now that you are inspired. Great Job,

Wendy
