Out With the Old, In With the New

It's funny how a room can look so different in a photograph.  I thought I made great progress in my sewing room yesterday but after looking at the pictures of Phase 2, it still looks like a mess!  See for yourself:

Before:

Phase 2
(I am calling it Phase 2 until after I have cleared the walls, painted and finished purchasing coordinating storage containers, then I can call it "After"):

You can see a few more pics here on Flickr. 

I've started posting scrapbook supplies that I no longer use on Ebay.  If you are looking for a great deal on scrapbook supplies or know someone who is search for me on Ebay "denielle813" or click here.  So far I've listed the Provocraft Cricut (which is going to be difficult to part with but I just don't use it like I thought I would), Creative Memories cutting tools and a Crop in Style Sticker/Paper Organizer.  Over the next few days, I'll post the little stuff like stickers and other page embellishments.

I found some neat sewing themed wall decals at Joann Fabrics today.  The pack has a silhouette of a dress form, sewing machine and spools of thread and also a cool new clock with images of dress forms.

Well, regardless of what the photos look like, it's progress!!  Check back soon!

Sewing Room Update

I made some really good progress yesterday.  I've decided to list a lot of my scrapbook supplies on Ebay and maybe even have a garage sale in a couple of weeks.  I have tons of paper, embellishments (flowers, tags, eyelets of every color, ribbon) and even the first generation Cricut machine, all of it is going up for sale.

I realized I am going to have to do the room in phases.  Now that I have it cleaned out, the next step will be to take everything off the walls and paint.  Unfortunately, I am going to have to wait on this.  We are having the home inspected for a sinkhole so depending on what happens with that will determine how quickly I get to paint my room.

Anyway, now the sewing room is cleaned out but the front sitting room is a disaster.  This is going to be the staging area for the garage sale.  I'll post pictures this evening! 

Have a great day!

Sewing Room Make Over

I've decided to start on what is probably a much larger project than I realize...making over my sewing room.  My 7 year old daughter and I share a sewing room.  I have been piling fabric and tools over the years and really haven't done a great job at keeping the room organized.

I've decided on the colors for the room: pale yellow with bright pink accents.  I will post some before, during and after pictures so you can watch the transformation.  Hopefully the result will be an inspiring tranquil room with a little bit more room to move around!

Wish me luck!
