RED AND WHITE Sewing Room-Guest Room

So glad you stopped by! 

I've been crafting, thrifting, re-using items all in an effort to make my sewing room usable.

My thrifty finds....ALL the shutters and shelves...

....spray painted  white to unify them together.

I crafted a basket liner but haven't attached it yet so I clothespinned it onto the basket!

The baskets were pretty plain Jane so I gathered and glued fabric on the fronts of them and added a white muslin rosette to most of them. Hint...no sewing was used here....

I gathered fabric with my fingers, hot glued a small area of the basket and scrunched the fabric onto the glue as I went.

Always keeping a bowl of water nearby to

put my finger quickly into...when it got hot glue onto it!

 I'm working on a wedding project for someone special...my daughter...wedding fabric everywhere....

but below is my ironing area next to my sewing machine. I have it at the same height as the sewing machine area so I can swivel my chair around and press items as I sew them. I don't like getting up each time and walking over to the ironing board!

 I just found the teacup shelf at a little tiny thrift store near my house for $20.00 yippeee!
It was outside covered with dirt and a mess.

I recovered cans and organized them.......the cans hold lace, rick rack, buttons, etc.

Found these polka dot containers at Walmart during Valentine's day decorations. Wish I had gotten more.

I also went into the kitchen and got out vintage bread pans (more thrift store finds) and used them to store ribbons.

Bread pans are always easy to find at thrift stores...

The cupboards have all my folded quilt fabric in them stored and folded by color.

One inexpensive craft is recovering boxes with scrapbook paper or fabric. Recovered boxes with red and white gingham fabric, just glued it on nothing difficult. 
These boxes store frames, buttons, fabric, magazines, embellishments, etc.

Curtains made out of white sheets...cover 2 of the 3 windows in this room.

In my craft/sewing room is a bed for guests...

The little basket next to the bed is for holding phones, Ipads, etc. when my son is here. He always complains he never has a place for his electronics.

 (Waaaah...I told him he's lucky I put a bed in here!)

I'm in full swing making ring bearer pillows and other accessories for weddings. My newest business project. I love wedding accessories and enjoy making them.

I have had the need to clean, purge, organize, and get rid of extra things.

I've been selling extra quilt and cross stitch books in my Etsy, realizing at 52 I will not finish the thousands of patterns and projects I have accumulated!
Perhaps a few hundred projects in the next 40 or 50 years but not thousands.

There were way too many shutters around my house so I brought all of them to this room and put them up on the wall where I could enjoy them.
