Bad luck happened to strike in the bathroom adjacent to the bedroom I had as a kid. It was another guest bedroom. Water from the bathroom soaked the carpet, ruining it. So the floor needed new carpet, but my mom found laminate flooring at a great deal, and so she decided she'd only pay half of the cost of replacing the carpet, and install laminate. It was a fun project, and took us one day.

Since everything was moving around, they wanted my sewing junk up there to free up the real guest bedroom. I was thrilled! It is my dream project room. Lots of storage, pretty good lighting, and the wood floors!! I am in heaven until April when the husband graduates and we'll move. But now I know how to install the laminate flooring, so if we ever purchase a home, maybe I could make myself another dream room later.

This new room holds all the things I use:

-tall cutting table I made over

-closet/ storage

-sewing table, one side sewing machine, other serger

-desk for shipping/ etsy stuff (this was my first desk I got when I was 8)

-shelves for projects in their different stages, and to hold of course, the TV where I put on movies while I sew all night

-Iron with bonus window sill for everything

There is the nice, deep shelf along one wall, and I knew I'd need to use if for fabric storage. Lynette and I have been trying to figure out the best way to store fabric, and we don't have a solution, but we'll see how this works. I used diaper boxes on end, and cut off the top portion. So the stacks are narrow and tall according to color. If I need some fabric, I pull down the box, then put it back up so I can see what I have, but easier to access. Hopefully it will be handy.
