The room, previously known as our guest room, has been transformed from this…….
To this! It is complete with lots of lovely storage (thanks to DH for his Ikea assembly!)
Room to display some treasured vintage patterns
A work station for me ……
………..And one for Sarah! (Her first project is going to be to make a sewing machine cover for my old machine).
The rest of the supplies are stashed away in the walk in robe so I have no excuse now for not keeping it looking organized!
I decoupaged some luggage tags made of thick card to label my baskets. I still need to label all my magazine holders and plastic crates/tubs that are stored in the cupboard and robe.
I finished off these flannel PJ’s for Sarah.

I’ve been thinking of re-doing my office space as well. It’s not a big room and there are lots of storage obstacles – However, you’ve given me a few ideas! 🙂
What an amazing craft room for you both! The pj’s are very cute too.
WOW! What a great new room. I just love it all…..
That looks like a fantastic space and great to have work room big enough for both of you! I envy your organising skills.
What a gorgeous work room. Who wants overnight guests anyway?
It looks amazing….I wish I had my own room to myself! You’ll be in crafting heaven now I’m sure.
I am so jealous! It really must be heaven in your own room with a desk for your daughter. I love the pjs! Glad to have found your blog.
Wow it looks great! What a fabulous transformation. My craft area is in the basement so I drag everything upstairs and work on my kitchen counter. It’s very messy!
The frames with the vintage patterns are a nice touch! You and Sarah will have lots of fun sewing in your new craft studio!
Oh, how lucky! I love this space. My favorite part is that you and Sarah both have your own work stations. How much fun to work together!
top work………looks great……..
Wow! I have been sitting admiring your level of organisation. What a lovely space to create in. I love your framed patterns – they are gorgeous.
That looks great! I am envious of your space though! You should definitely submit your room to

Wow, what a great space to have to work in! The pj’s look terrific – love the spots combined with the print.

Ohh fabric envy. Pink polka dots are so scrummy. Storage envy. Cute tags. Enjoy your room.
Uau! Loosks great!
Now the inspiration will not stop never, never!
Fantastic the sewing room looks gorgeous. Didn’t your Nana’s vintage patterns come up a treat in the frames – wonderful memories. I can just imagine how industrious this room will be, with Sarah and yourself having your own sewing spaces. Your tags are great too, something so simple – though looks so effective and chic! Hugs Jx
that room looks gorgeous! I’ll be waiting to see what you’ll be making in this lovely new space! the pj’s are too cute!
Beautiful, Sarah! What a great creative space!
The two of you are going to have such wonderful times in your space.

I love the room. Looks great. Cute jammies

Wow! What a great job, you are making me want to go and tidy up my sewing room.
I make such a mess in there whenever I am working on a project.
The pj’s are lovely.
What a great job making yourself your own sewing room!!! Looks amazing,
Kris
YAYYYYYYY!!!! Congrats on your new space!! Look fabulous and I am sure there will be many more creations now!!! =)

I expect it feels great to have a room for you and Sarah to share and create in together. Lucky you.
It looks totally amazing! What a beautiful room for you to both work in together.
I’m currently researching storage options for my sewing room. Is the Ikea unit the Expedit? How is it? Is it roomy enough? I’m weighing up the Expedit and the Besta system, and can’t decide. Any thoughts?
I love the little details in your room, like the pretty tags.
The room looks great! Have fun creating together!
WOW Lisa what a transformation it is just Gorgeous, love the wicker baskets & their labels, what a lovely Idea,I see many happy hours sewing in your new room.
cheers
maree
Lisa, I am loving your new room. You are inspiring me! I am just about to put the second coat of paint on my sewing room wall and then to put it back together. Love all your storage and organisation!
Love the room – and the idea of the framed patterns – they look fab!
What a wonderful room! You’re going to have such a great time creating in there.
Wow!! It looks amazing and you are inspiring me to get my act in to gear. I LOVE the framed vintage patterns – what a brilliant idea!! I wish you both many happy hours creating together!!
I’m sure you’ll get a lot of sewing done in this lovely room, and it’s so nice that you can sew together!
So lovley.
Everything has a place which is the easiest way to keep things tiday. Even when in the midst of creative mess, it doesn’t take too long to pack it all up. And how special for Sarah to have her own special space.
Enjoy.
what a wonderful area and what a lot of happy hours you will spend here!
fantastic room! I am very jealous. The pjs looks good too. Can’t wait to see what Sarah makes for your sewing machine!
Oh, I have gone to heaven! A whole room and it is so tidy! You do not want to even imagine what mine is like…
Oh what a wonderful room and I am a little jealous. Enjoy your creating together.
That’s just great! I hope my daughter grows up to want to craft with me. I have high hopes – she loves sticking, painting and drawing.
love the ikea storage have wanted one for some time but ikea is a 5hour drive away.so sad.
so much room to do all of your great projects.
Envy, Envy, Envy.
I am so green eyed!
How lovely for you both. It looks so serene, will it stay so clean?
Enjoy!
I have been waiting for the new room make-over shots! I looks great! As do the PJ’s. Hope you had a good weekend & that you enjoy your school holidays!
What a gorgeous room, love the white display shelves. In my dream sewing room I hope to have a set of those too!! Cathyxx
Oh wow! That looks so….. awesome!
It’s soooo neat and tidy! Will it stay that way? My sewing room looks like a bomb hit it after one project 😀 But I do have 4 very little kiddies and a *lot* of distractions! …lol
Looks fantastic… you must be so excited!
simply lovely!
What a lovely blog, I’m so glad I found you 🙂 Your sewing room looks like crafting heaven, and so wonderfully organised. Your tags are very sweet, and those winter jammies look like just the ticket to beat the cold…
It’s wonderful!!! and I LOVE your tags!!!
so special this is…creating with your friend…you are lucky…and talented!
Wow, what a great room to play in! I have a corner of my basement, which is nice, but it’s also the place to store all the kids old clothes. I’d love to have an organized space like this.
what a fantastic space!
it looks so good, you may never want to leave!
Oh wow, i am so jealous. Your “new” room looks so beautiful and “organised” and lovely and “organised” and pretty and “organised” – can you tell I am not “organsied”? !!!
Well done. Kathryn.
What a transformation! I love all the storage ideas and the workstations for each of you… the room is so cool!
I wonder, does that mean guest are no longer allowed? Unless they sew all day and sleep on the floor, hehee.
And those framed vintage images are such a great addition! Enjoy the brand new room.
Oh, forgot to say – I’m interested in Sarah’s next project, the sewing machine cover. I’m desperate to make one (I have a flimsy vinyl thing that came with the machine) and was toying with the idea of getting a pattern or just winging it. So I’m looking forward to seeing how she goes about making one.
I love your new studio!!!! I’m sure lots of great crafts will come out of such an inspiring place. I never thought of framing vintage patterns like that but tonight grammie gave me a bunch and I think I might buy some frames tomorrow!!!!!
Hello hope everyone is feeling better. The work room looks great. I am in love with the shelving (and jealous). xx
Ooooh labels for organization. Love that! This was a great transformation. Enjoy the new space!
What a room! What a post! 65 comments! Nice work.
Very nice! Gotta love your own space.
That storage shelf from IKEA looks great. I need something like that. Did you get the backets from IKEA too? Looks like they fit perfectly.
I love your new sewing space! How much fun for you and Sarah to each have your own work station.
I love the idea of framing vintage patterns. They look great! -as does your work room!
Love it! I want some of those ikea shelves – jealous! I so badly want my own space that when we move into our new house I am going to make our 4 children share 2 bedrooms so I can have bedroom no.4 as ‘my space’. Mean aren’t I….hehehe.
Oh i love both the guest room and the craft room. It’s neat and tidy and organised !!
Can i come over for a knit-out afternoon ? LOL
