May I present, My Happy Place. (Before the redo and room switch here.)
It’s not likely to stay looking like this for long. As a matter of fact, as soon as I was finished shooting these pictures {and moving the piles around so they didn’t show up in the pictures} the clutter proceeded to rear its’ ugly head.
So let’s just savor this for a moment, shall we?
Nice. Magazine cover art shown here.
Organized!
I can find everything I could possibly need to get the job done.
Except, it’s not a job. It’s an obsession.
There I said it. I’m obsessed with sewing.
As soon as I finish a project, it’s on to the next. Even if that means redoing something I made just a month ago.
I know. Dr. Phil’s name has been mentioned more than once in this house, and not in a “Isn’t Dr. Phil performing wondrous miracles?” kind of way. More like a “I’m putting Dr. Phil on speed-dial” thing.
Is it wrong that Robert Allen’s name comes up in casual conversation…as though he’s an old family friend? Or that we once lived on Waverly Road? Or that my UPS guy apologizes on days he doesn’t have fabric to deliver?
Maybe. But if creating beauty in my world is wrong, well then, I guess I don’t want to be right.
OMG! SO FREAKING CUTE! LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY!!!!!!!
You are so blessed to have such a wonderful and large sewing room. I usually end up sewing on the kitchen island and moving things around as needed. I am going to save this post as inspiration.
What a wonderful space. Where do you end up getting most of your fabric from? online or local fabric stores?
PTH, we have NO local fabric stores. Sigh.
GORGEOUS! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! I especially love the magazines covers! What a great touch and great use of some favorite titles!!
LOVE IT! It’s beautiful, what a great place for sewing.
Nice job Mom! Looks fantastic!

Drooling here!
The rick rack around the upper wall makes me smile.
That is the CUTEST sewing room I have ever seen! I love the vibrant colors, all the room, all of the work spaces…. I could go on and on.
BEAUTIFUL!!
it looks like you should have an army of people in there working away!
I love all the color and that you have room to have all those machines set up and your drawers are labeled. Awesome !
What a great space…I am jealous!
You did an amazing job with your room! I am very jealous…maybe this is just the inspiration I need to tackle my own ‘craft’ room….or as my husband used to call it–my ‘crap’ room…
Congratulations!
It’s so completely amazingly fabulous! You did such a wonderful job. It’s a beautiful room and an excellent place to bring your creative ideas to life. So happy for you!
So bright and cheerful. There is just something about rickrack that always makes me smile. I am sure you get a lot of work done in that room…or at least you come out of the room with a smile on your face.
Love the beautiful happy room. That is a lot of work just organizing!
I was soooooo hoping your post today would be your big reveal! I love this space so much! It screams happiness to me! Create, create, create! My favorite part (well, one of them) is the ric-rac trim! OMG! I love it! Thanks so much for brightening my day with your space!
I am ‘jonesin’ to get home and sew now! Although, I am stuck at my kitchen table! But, I’m at least surrounded by pretty fabric!
THE RICK RACK ALONG THE CEILING WITH THE FRAMED MAG COVERS…JUST BRILLIANT!! YOU DID GOOD….HAPPY TO SEE YOU MANY COMMENTS.
Nice bright workroom!!! I only wish my office was that large!
Ooo! It is nice! Maybe I will make myself paint. Maybe….
Love your new room. I can see you would feel inspired in here!

I absolutely LOVE the magazine covers! What a great room
I am currently taking up 2 rooms, wish I had just one big room to put it all in. Wonder if I could convince my husband that we don’t need that big master bedroom?
OMG I love it! How fun and I love the magazine covers as art. You must be having a blast working in it. Its so important to have a nice place to do your work and stay creative. You did a great job!
LOVE the colors and the space. found you from tater tots and jello. I am also jealous of your sewing room…but I think that to create great things we have to have a great and accessible space – so good for you! Enjoy!
Can I come over and play!

Beautiful space! Love how bright and cheerful everything is…it would be a delight to work in there.
Awesome space Ellen; and those mag covers… the best!!!
oooh, i’d be happy there too! the ric rac just kills me.
Beautiful room and I love the way your magazine covers are displayed!
Love the framed magazine covers! Perfect design element!
I would love to have a sewing room like yours. I would get a whole lot more quilting done that is for sure.
