the play/sew room is now ready for playing and sewing!

This past weekend we almost finished the mini-redo of the play/sew room! We patched the walls, painted the room, hung shelves, made some new wall art (the Seuss fabric hoops) and organized, organized, organized!

I say "almost finished" because you will notice in these pictures:

A) There are no blinds! The old ones from the previous owners literally fell off the window. Strings snapped, huge disaster. But I'm ok with it because we planned to slowly replace all the blinds in the house with the 2" faux wood kind (I say slowly because that 63" window? $80 worth of blinds. YIKES!). The new blinds are here and will be hung this afternoon!

B) There's one more big blank space on the wall (to the right of the shelves)- but I'm ok with that- I hope to one day put a quilt wall hanging there!

Either way, I love the way it is now- so bright and cheerful!

(Hmm... I just realized that I might as well call this the IKEA room)

I love this idea that's been floating around the internet and it seemed like a great way to bring a little "theme" to the room without going overboard (or using too much of my precious Seuss stash!)

Did you get a look at those IKEA shelves? They make me so happy!

We put them both up there in the corner for my sewing supplies that are most often used. Thinking way ahead, we think that they'll also work there in the corner with a changing table underneath them, should this room ever becoming a nursery.

My silhouette and I went to work labeling and organizing everything.

Between this room and the mini-bolts in my fabric cabinet, I am so excited! I love getting organized, it's just keeping it organized that's the problem! I'm hoping having everything out of reach of tiny hands will help!
