The Craft & Sewing Room

When we decided to redo the basement, that of course meant that Olivia's room upstairs would be empty.  I fully expected Lindsey to want to move, as that room is bigger than hers, but I was wrong.  Instead, she asked if it could be her sewing room.  I compromised, and we turned it into a combined craft (scrapbooking) and sewing room for both of us.

We didn't change the color of the room itself, because I loathe painting.  We need to get a couple of window treatments, since we repurposed the old ones to fit into Olivia's new room.  We also need a couple comfortable chairs for our work stations.  However, here's a tour of our new creative area without those two items.  These are the original hardwood floors that run throughout the main floor of the house.  The flooring we picked for the basement was picked to match this and pull that same color/wood tone throughout the house.

There will be a large folding table in the middle of the room that we can both use for projects.  It's currently being used in the unfinished side of the basement for purging/sorting purposes.

Sometime in the spring we HOPE to put new flooring in the sun porch and give that a fresh look as well.
