Seamstress in a RTW World…

We’ve lived in this house a little over three years, and prior to that, we ripped the whole house apart and then put it back together. Good as new. Had to be, as it’s over 100 years old. The playroom is something that’s been on “the list” for all that time, but never got precedence. The good news is, we have inspiration. Thankyouverymuch Pottery Barn.

The even better news is that we have that room. Okay, not that exact room, but close enough that it’s exciting. Even better yet is that work has finally begun on the playroom! Dh has started lining the walls with scrap paneling and progress is being made. We’ve decided to bunk a bed into the eaves on one side and last night we looked for lighting. Hopefully, Sophie will have her playroom this Spring!

Here’s the side that’s finished. It will be painted, of course, when it’s all said and done.

One last shot, showing dh working on that blasted angle. You can see the window here, too.

Hopefully I’ll be back soon with more progress!

Best,

Meagan

I’ve been meaning all along to share pics of our house, as rooms are finished. I haven’t been doing very well with that, and while I have other previously-finished rooms to show, I’ll start with the most recent: The Sewing Studio. I do still need to make some valances for this room, but for all other intensive purposes, it’s finished! Including hanging things on the walls, which I really have a mental block against. Hey, when you physically tear down and then painstainkenly put back up nearly every wall in the house, putting holes in them seems out of the realm of possibility! LOL

Without further ado, TONS of pics… Working around the room in a clock-wise manner.

The Media Center:

Machine Table:

Embroidery Station:

Ironing Area:

Cutting Table:

Cubbyhole: This is in the center of a wall of drawers and cabinets.

Well, that’s it for this room! Hopefully I’ll get back soon and share pictures of the upstairs bathroom and the master bedroom, which are also complete. I’m really going to try to get into the swing of this blog thing this year.
