Today I have a little Sewing Room Ideas-Sneak Peek!

We have been in our house for more than 18 years now and I decided that this summer was going to be the time that we started doing a little bit of sprucing up again!

And believe me…I have taken over every one of my kids rooms! :) We have a big bonus room over the garage and I have turned it into my sewing/quilting room! :) It has never really been totally organized and decorated, so I decided that this was the summer to do it!

I found 3 chairs, 2 wall lamps for the cabin, and a wonderful metal tub to plant flowers in! My son came up the next morning and he got a beautiful game table, a lamp, a wall light and a gorgeous metal bowl.
