Drumroll Please!!!

I'm ready to do the big unveiling of my newly renovated quilt studio!! Mind you, I'm not ready to show off the new bedroom, just the studio! lol

But first, I want to share some interesting statistics about what has happened.

Days elapsed since idea was first broached on blog - 175
Days since work was started - 103
Days since I started working only on the bedrooms - 46
Rooms where painting occurred - 7 (wow!!)
Gallons of paint used - umpteen
Gallons of spackle used - almost as much
Old outlets and switches swapped for fresh, clean ones - 15
  Ones done by me - 10
Trips to Home Depot - countless
Trips to the dumpster - at least 5
Times I borrowed my neighbor, Aaron - 2 (well, 3 if you count the consultation)
Number of naps taken on the luxurious new mattress - just by me? Or do the dogs' naps count?
Breakdowns had during the process - 1 (yep, just the one!)
Number of times Maxie had breakdowns - too many to count (The poor dog just couldn't deal with all the work going on.)

Knowing that I have a great space that makes me want to sew... PRICELESS!!!

And without further ado...

Here is the door to the studio and the wall that is to the left of the door. My sewing desk is partially in front of the door, but until I start sewing at it, I am not sure if I will need to adjust it's location. It works where it is for now. And I put the rocking chair in front of the TV by the window and while that just feels awkward to me, there is not really another place for it.



Here is the Stash Wall! I was worried that the TV would be sitting too low , but it is at a great height for sitting at the desk or on the bed.



The hope chest is between the door to the bathroom and the closet and I hung my thread rack and 2 ruler holders above it. It's nice to have all of that out of the way! There are still some spools of thread left over and I have a smaller thread holder, but I am not sure if I want to hang it up as well. I also have some current projects on the hope chest. I think that the chest will still be my staging area for now.



Looking into the closet, I have some scrap containers on the floor by the wall because they wouldn't fit on the bookcases or under the bed. It was actually my nephew's idea to put them in the closet! And of course, the GO is in there, too. At least until I can find better spots for them.



Here is the other side of the room taken from in front of the TV. The massive design wall and the oh-so-comfortable and way too tall bed!



And of course, room for the iron and ironing board! Can you tell that Max loves having his own bed in the studio? Maisy is just 'meh' about it, I think. :-D



The only thing missing is window treatments and a dust ruffle on the bed to hide the clutter underneath. But I still need to decide on what I want the window treatments to look like before Granma and I can make them.

So.... What do you think???
