I have a Roomba (sorry, don't know how to spell it). It is a computerized little round vacuum cleaner. It loves thread. My husband wanted to get it and I thought, we don't need another vacuum. BUT, I've discovered that that little machine eats threads like nobody's business, and I don't ever have to vacuum again. Although, one does have to clean out the lint catcher. (I let my husband do that. :-D ) My Roomba is the best excessory to my quilting stuff, bar none! I sew in my living room, so it's good I have a way to get up those darn threads.

Those folks in my picture holding the piano quilt are standing in my livingroom, so you can kind of see my wall cover. It is off white paper with a pink/rose colored roses on it.

Right now my husband's working on my sewing room. Long story that includes adding on, kids are young adults now and it has the old dining room/living room combination. We jokingly call the living room his 'man cave' and the dining room is going to be my sewing room. When we added on it included a family room and an eat in area in the kitchen so the dining room never got used for dining anyway. Home Depot carries unfinished kitchen cabinets which we've used a lot, including for my new table that holds my sewing machine and there won't be much wall left to see but this is the old border and the paintcolor. The wood trim below the border is our addition. I liked the border but didn't want the walls green and we couldn't paint blue to my OCD satiasfaction so the edge was hidden with the trim. Fitting with the style of the house, that's how the walls were done back in Victorian times'
The actual paint color is a bit darker, a navy, rather than the royal blue in this pic (on this computer)
I'm sure it's too much color for some but for the longest time I lived with the gray of drywall, I NEED color and there's a window to let in light
I'm going to post pics of the room when it's finished but I suspect it might be a year before then but I've waited 30 years, what's another?

My walls are mostly white. My Landlord do'se not whaat us to paint.

I have wallpaper on my walls-vines and flowers - white background. I'm in a flower garden as I sit there and sew. I love it!

sounds like that is just the room for me. my two loves gardening and quilting!

We bought an old house two years ago - built in 1865 - and are slowly remodeling. I really like the rich dark colors from the Victorian era but wanted something brighter for the sewing room. That's why I have vines and flowers with a white background in there. The rest of the house is/will be much closer to Victorian style.

My walls are a light seamist green and my floors are hardwood. I have four long 36" X 72" long windows, so I have a lot of light. I read that orange is a creative color but it would be way too warm in that room. I love my floors, they are so easy to sweep and I don't lose pins in the carpet that I only find if I stwp on them.

All of the rooms are so pretty! Mine is now totally trashed and needs to be cleaned bit there is hope in the near future!!!
I need to repaint as well and I love the muted yellow colors!

Mine are pale blue. My sewing room is on the south side of the house so it can get hot when the sun is out. I like the cool color walls as it helps me to feel a little less hot. I am lucky enough to have a sewing room because my 4 children grew up. I took over one of their bedrooms.

DeeCee, i see you collection of JoSonja paints in the corner :D

A very pale peach or peachy-taupe would be nice.

Do you think I can get commission for advertising the JS brand? :-D

My sewing room is in an out-building and it is covered with shelves floor to ceiling on 3 sides. It is a pale gray, and the shelves display all my treasures, including my fabric, beading, family heirlooms, etc. It is old-fashioned chabby chic, but I love it. I have a TV, plenty of music, and all my stuff for making me happy while sewing and quilting.

My sewing room use to be my daughter's bedroom. She had painted it a lovely sunshine yellow. (It's not to bright nor to muted.) It is a very cheerful place to work. I enjoy my time working in there.

The walls in my craft studio are hot pink ... it is fun, sassy, creative, and definitely fit for a "diva!" I love going in that room; it makes me smile! And the hot pink color makes my husband nervous to spend much time in there ...

I have wood floors, which make up for fast cleaning up. One wall is windows, I have pink and white curtains on those, all the other walls are filled with sewing supplies, floor to ceiling, except for the space where there is a stone fireplace. I do not use it and would like to cover it up so that I could use it for my design wall. The room is about 14 x 20. I need twice that size, but am thankful to have that much space of my own.

You know, Edie, I read somewhere that one of the prisons was going with hot pink because for some reason it seems to calm the prisoners! LOL

My sewing room is Purple with white cabinets and black tile floor with a light grey counter tops. Right now if needs to be cleaned out I only have a path down the middle and enough room for my chair to move around. I have 2 windows one faces west so get the hot sun, have a white curtain there so it bright in the light.

Mine is a light, minty green. White sheer curtains, black, very basic furniture - day bed , TV stand and sewing table are all black wood. I wish I had wood or tile or laminate floors - I have beige carpeting.

stitchinfrenzy, I saw some information on creativity and it mentioned peach, coral family of colors. My husband painted a second room for me and I want to put a quilting machine in it.

Pale peach

My room combines my two loves, quilting and anything tropical. So my walls are a soft green and the ceiling is a pale yellow, and the valances are a cheery tropical print, green palm fronds and tropical colorful parrots. And it has elvira in it (that's my featherweight)so it's a wonderful place to sew (barefoot).

I had a soft buttery yellow by Benjamin Moore on the walls of my former quilting room. I loved it. But my present room is just painted off white. I never had time to apply any color before I moved into it. Now I wouldn't dare try! 8-)

Mine are Bright orange!

Melissa - Mine are tangerine with lime trim!

cream color walls

love your room quiltingranny! Very inspirational seeing others sewing rooms - I'm in the middle of making a quilt for our new grandbaby girl! WIll post a pic or two of mine when I'm finished - and it's tidy again :)

Wow! I'm so impressed with your sewing room. It's so bright, cheery and not a thing out of place!

Between a yellow and a light green. love it also ge alot of sun,

I have wood paneling on all the walls and hard wood flooring. It used to be a room two of my boys shared so the paneling at the time was a good choice. I have so much other stuff around that the room is peaceful, but messy. I also have a twin bed on one wall that my closest friend, closer than a sister, sleeps in about once a month when she comes for the weekend.

My sewing room is soft peach...even the sliding closet doors are the same pale peach. We have soft peach/dusty rose throughout the house. I like it ...very restful. I have 2 windows, one faces west, the other north. I have mini blinds on them, and in the late afternoon I have to close the west facing (where I face sitting at my machine), or I am blinded.

no1 i use my whole house also rosefrench

Mine is a pretty bluish purple. It was named Hydrangea. I love it!!

My sewing room is in the basement--well 1/2 anyway. I have cream berber carpet and the walls are white. They are only 2 small windows about 12 x 24 inches and they are at ground level on one side. My walls are covered with white bookshelves and either sewing/quilting signs, my special Elvis pictures, dolls, bears,and mini quilts. It is my sanctuary. I have TV, cable, vcr and dvd plus a record player/cd combo. It is the coolest place in the summer but can get a little chilly in the winter, so I have an oil filled space heater. I just wish I could spend more time down there.

lol my room is basement cinderblock with whitewash! One day I hope to have a room for sewing! But I do have plenty of room there and two tables to spread out on.

My room is two steps down from the kitchen, so that I can nip in and out when I am supposed to be cooking. It is painted a beautiful light mint green with white trim and has a large window at front and sliding glass doors on two walls opening to the garden, laminated wood flooring, two chintz armchairs, TV/DVD, air conditioner for really hot days but beautifully sunny and warm in winter. When I close up the sewing cabinet and tidy up it becomes a little refuge for the two of us for reading, watching TV, coffee drinking - very cosy. It is the favourite room for both of us.

White walls. It had a really strong blue-purple when we moved in, and I really liked the color, but I realized it would interfere with my designing. I don't want any "extraneous" colors influencing me when I'm working on a quilt, plus the colors of the walls change the color of the light, which also affects how you see the color of the fabric you're working with.

I also have hardwood floors, with a small rug under my sewing table for my feet, and to collect thread and tiny fabric scraps :-D

Wow The Quilted Dove, I love your wall racks, is that fabric backing or batting? What a neat idea, I wish I had a basement or separate room to use for quilting, but we don't have basements our here.

I have light purple walls with mauve carpeting and love it since it's my favorite color and so inviting to me.
