Sewingroom Make-over

Well...I was quite happy with my sewingroom. I had the right furniture, A comfortable chair and all the right tools, but still it felt like something was "off". I had planned to re-upholster my old chair that I took with me from our cottage and spend a long time looking for the right fabric. When I had found it there wasn't enough left to do the whole chair, but since I couldn't life without it I had to buy it anyway. But being the lucky girl that I am I found more of it. So I started to think about how to tackle this "re-upholstering" since I had never done it before.

On Friday morning at 03:00 I woke up and knew what was wrong with my room! To much color! I had an old table in a bright wood color, a chair in a dark wood color with black...there were simply to many colors which made my room look messy all the time. I had a hard time picking out fabrics for project and getting really inspired. I had this nice corner were I could sit and stitch but couldn't really relax. Also you didn't see all the nice things I made and had in my room.

Well this is the way my old stuff looked:





And This is the way my room looks now:





You might think that I spend a lott of money on this, but actually I was on a very tight budget. The most expensive thing was the fabric since, the deskchair, the big chair, the curtains for my cuttingtable, the normal curtains and the bulletinboard were done in this. Second came the 2 shelves I bought and third: the ribbons for the curtain and the bulletinboard.
All the other things like the boxes and stuff were already in my room..you just didn't see them...

Well, I hope this might give you some inspiration to get your paintbrush out and see what you can do with some old stuff....
