I always wanted a room where I could spread out all my sewing/craft stuff when working on a project and not have to worry about getting it all cleaned up before dinner. My sewing room almost always encompassed the kitchen or dinning room table. I feel very fortunate to have this nice room now…. with a large window where I not only sew…. but scrapbook (if the mood strikes me), wrap gifts, have storage for my tons of magazines and all my crafting/sewing supplies.
Recently I decided to organize it and here are my before and after photos.
Before (nothing organized) Mishmash of papers and books and junk!
Ahhh….Cleaned up and organized…ready for action. It may not be the perfect “Pottery Barn” look but it works for me.
Fabric easily accessible Magazines neatly stored in cupboard
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
