We're Coming Down the Home Stretch, Oh My!!!!

Happy Friday!

Here are some pics of the finished room. It's coming together so nicely!
This will be my Enterprise's new home---along the shorter dark wall.

See the tv mount on this wall, I should be able to see the TV from all angles. The armoire will be moved to an upstairs bedroom.

The freezer is now on the other side of the door! We returned the fireplace heater for the smaller unit you see here.

Here's my lovely new sewing machine table from "Angel Diane." Two machines left and right, wow! I haven't moved the sewing machines from upstairs yet.

The chair is also new. It's a Koala. So comfy!

Here's a pic with the track lights. They are awesome!!! Not sure what that blue is at the top of the pic, must be the lighting effect of the camera flash???? There is no blue paint in the room! The Pfaff in the case is my first really expensive sewing machine. She is 26 yrs old and now lives a quite retired life. The other sewing machines don't get much use. I keep them for when my grands come over.

The switch plate covers looks so nice!

I covered this one with fabric.

My under-stairs storage is still a work in progress! But I like what I see so far!!! It's really coming together nicely, can't believe how nice everything looks.

The cabinet maker promised by cutting/work station and fabric shelf will be ready in two weeks. He's coming over Saturday to to see the floor so that he can match the stain.

Hope you enjoyed the post!!

Switch plate covers

Wow, I really love the way these turned out! Found this tutorial at Pink Chalk Studio Blog on fabric covered switch plate covers. I just need to add a couple coats of Mod Podge to seal and add luster. I used plain plastic outlet and switch plate covers from Home Depot. I followed the tutorial except for the glue. I used Jo Ann's Craft Essentials Real Deal Tacky glue and it worked fine.

Thanks for visiting!

Sewing Room - Painting

Wow, I learned this weekend that I CAN'T PAINT! I was just lousy at it! I got in a few brush strokes and near about drove my husband to cuss. LOL.

Well he did a superb job and finished the room beautifully. Next up crown molding and the floor! We had to put in a few access panels, but the ones we got from Home Depot didn't fit. DH is ordering some custom fitting ones on line.

Funny thing about the pet door we installed for the cat. She won't go through it unless I push it through for her. I'm trying to train her, but it's crazy she will not push hard enough with her head to get through. Hopefully she will get the hang of it. Any tips!

Doing a little mending for some clients Just replaced 2 zippers and fixed the zipper pull on my husband's hoodie. I found a great tutorial on You Tube that showed me how to do it in a flash!

My other client needed a zipper replaced on a coat. The little piece that you put into the square part at the bottom of the zipper is gone and the fabric is pretty frayed....looks like this will be a whole zipper replacement.

Projects on the horizon:

My DGD will receive her first holy communion in April and has picked out this Burda pattern. She wants the viw with the fabric flowers and organza tiered overskirt. I'll be sure to post pics.
