Little project: sewing room

 I am enjoying a slower pace for the rest of February and making space to be creative.  About two weeks after Scout moved out, I made that room into a sewing room/crafts room.  Its still in progress, but here is where I started:

The light in here looks yellowy, so I may look for daylight bulbs.  The shelves are not all that useful except to place things, so I set some odds and ends mementos on them:

The space underneath will be where I set up my ironing board when I need to use it.

When I was switching out the closet contents, I decided to remove all of the family portraits from frames and store them another way.  Underneath one I found this mid 90s poster print from our first home.  I forgot I had left it behind the portrait.  It felt like a full circle moment, so I decided to use it in here.

I used the rest of the gold spray paint from this project to take the frame from silver to gold, cleaned up the glass, and re-hung the print.

The ironing board is behind the open closet door.  I plan to leave the closet door open so I can access the contents of my craft and sewing supplies. 

The sewing table is a folding table we had up in the barn at Highlands.  It got a good scrubbing.  Scout left this chair, so I claimed it, for now.  I want to order this pretty pink office chair eventually.

Other than the future chair purchase*, I spent zero dollars on this room.  It has a lot of potential space for me to spread out and enjoy some peaceful creativity.

Its going to be a nice place to get started.

*I think I might be able to find a pretty pink boucle fabric to update this chair, though.
