Continued from here.
It has been awhile since my final stitching room weblog put up, so I’ve lots to indicate you. Photos will inform all of it.
| Trimwork executed, ceiling painted, partitions washed. |
ceiling and crown molding, gentle inexperienced partitions. The paint was leftover from once I painted our bedroom years in the past, and amazingly, it was nonetheless good.

| Arduous to catch the precise shade of inexperienced. |
One problem with the trim was that Dan could not match the brand new with the previous.
We could not discover the identical crown molding for the ceiling, nor the cove molding to complete the
baseboard. For the closet and now the place he coated the previous outdoors doorway, he went with one thing
fully completely different. So, I painted it a bit in a different way too.
That is how an issue turns into a design function. I feel it appears okay. Truly, I can visualize turning that panel right into a chalk or corkboard, besides
that I would like the wall area for shelving and storage.
I additionally needed to tackle the tiny closet.

| Closet earlier than portray |
Its plywood partitions have been stained darkish inexperienced and the ground was painted darkish brown. These colours plus the cob-webby ceiling gave it a creepy feeling. Being small and having no gentle, it was troublesome to {photograph}.

| Closet after portray |
Large distinction, huh? I prefer it! I’ll use it principally for tote storage.
Then it was time to start out shifting in, with shelving and space rug first.
Amazingly, the world rug matches completely. I discovered it at
Ollie’s (“Good
Stuff Low cost”). I am hoping it really works nicely for a stitching and fiber room ground as a result of the colours
aren’t strong. Each different stripe is two-tone. Possibly that may assist “disguise” random threads and fibers that inevitably find yourself on the ground!

| Cabinets, submitting cupboard, and old school TV cupboard prepared for stuff |
After we acquired a flat display screen TV, I virtually offered the TV cupboard, however now I am glad I did not. I saved it as a result of it is oak, and I figured it will be helpful sometime. I’ve
storage containers that may work nicely there. The submitting cupboard shall be
excellent for patterns, handouts, and free leaf undertaking directions I’ve
collected.
On the outside wall of the room, I used my tall bookcase as a room divider as a result of I did not need to cowl any of the home windows. I painted the again of it the identical coloration because the partitions, so it makes a nook on that wall.

| Nonetheless to hold – curtains, And the baseboard must be completed. |
I need to put a piece/chopping desk in that nook, so I’ve began checking thrift shops for an previous eating desk for that
goal.
As you may inform by my utilizing the bookcase as a room divider, I am not utilizing the
whole room for my stitching space. The precise size of this room is 20 ft, however
I am utilizing 11 ft of it. The opposite aspect opens as much as the lounge (original photos here), and that is the aspect the place the door to the greenhouse will go.
|
| The tall left-hand window shall be changed with a door. |
After the door is in, Dan will end the again wall too.
The subsequent step goes by my fiber, cloth, stitching, spinning, and
weaving packing containers and deciding the place to place all the things. All of that may doubtless take a while, however ultimately I’ll have a useful stitching room to indicate you!
