    Default Dining Room turned studio and thread storage

    Hey...new to the board here, but I have just completed my sewing studio. Most of the furniture was give to me free and I have refurbished. I use the china cabinet to organize magazines, patterns, notions, etc. My back wall cabinets hold fabrics, serger, craft supplies. My rear credenza is primarily used for embroidery work and storage. I keep cotton sewing threads in one of my thread boxes/canvas art and the other holds embroidery thread. My longarm quilter is in another room since I don't have the space for it. This is a work in progress as most studios are.

    Wow - that is so pretty. Love the colors and the shabby chic look. It looks like you paid mega bucks an had a decorator do it. Guess this will make me want to clean my room up!

    Thank you. Mostly free only cost me elbow grease and paint. It took about a year to put together, but worth it. Everything has its place. I even built my thread boxes, did the art work, built my shelf above, added under cabinet lighting. It has been a joy the past few months sewing in it. I have even managed to complete 4 baby quilts in the past 5 weeks.
