Hi, Does anyone have any ideas, or good web links concerning setting up or creating a quilting/sewing/computer room? I have a large cutting table and of course I will have my computer and desk. Two wicker chairs for a setting area and I need something to hang on the wall for placing my quilt squares. Duchess

Duchess, I don't know if you are intersted but you can look at my sewing room my husband did for me out of an old storage room. It was a very rotten room. LOL. You might want to consider leaving the chairs out if your room is small and just bringing them in if company wants to sew with your or visit. I used a cheap $2 flannel backed table cloth placed backwards so the flannel side is out for my design wall. You can see it in my photos.

Thanks for the photos of your sewing room. They are great and they give me some ideas. I am using a room that was my dining room at one time and I guess I was trying to make good use of the space without making it "junky looking"

I've been planning to change our sewing, computer, office room. I found this site which allows you plan and place items in the room you want to change. It's great, try it out. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_wide/text/0,1783,HGTV_17897_23822,00.html |
