Let there be light!

I was up early this morning, so I tidied up and snapped photos of my new sewing nook. It is really pleasant!I love the built-ins. They are circa 1953 and still function well. There were some nasty brass drawer pulls which I replaced yesterday with a more mid-century brushed aluminum style.

Now for window treatments...
IKEA has some really cute fabrics that I have my eye on. And lighting. I need better lighting for evening sewing. All in all, things are working!

Thanks everyone for your lovely posts about Laura's graduation. It has been a wonderful time for our family!

Super sewing area. Love all the daylight you have and the nice view of the garden. Must be a pleasure to work in.

Beautiful!

Sigh...my sewing nook is known around our family as 'The Cave'...no windows....

I'm trying not to be jealous! ;)

You'll really enjoy sewing in there, I bet!

What an amazing space - the windows are TDF!! I am so jealous - right now, I'm relegated to the basement, beside the washer and dryer. Can I live vicariously through you until I get my own sewing room?

Nice space, Robin. Great window and storage. It looks quite comfortable. I envy you the TV and the window, I'm with lisa laree - in THE CAVE. Enjoy!

Oh my! Lisa, Shannon and BeeBee - a cave is just WRONG!
And clean, well... that is temporary!
