The clutter:
The tearing down of the wall and enlarging the sewing room space is finished! Ron, the contractor was wonderful to work with. His crew arrived on Thursday, and finished up on Friday. This past Monday the plaster and texture was completed.
The room today:
I painted primer this a.m. and started painting the Benjamin Moore "Water Drops" color after lunch. Thankfully we are having a lovely Spring day and everything is drying quickly.
The room today: The window and door frame trim will be "White Opulance". Roller work tomorrow.
The flooring arrived and is stacked in the hallway. It will be another week before it is installed.

The flooring: A peek at what one of the new planks will look like!
I am also in love with this Benjamin Moore paint! It glides on like whipped butter! Painting is not my favorite thing---but, I could be persuaded to paint the whole interior of the house with this lovely stuff! Amazing paint! Regal Select
Some of the new Cubbie storage cubes that are going in the alcove created by removing the old closet framing that you can just barely see in this photo. There will be more of them---and stacked up the walls.
Well, we are progressing along……Dates are in place for the flooring. Next Friday. Sewing room furniture arrives the first week of April. Delayed by one week due to a change I needed to make for one door.
Here is a rough drawing of furniture placement.
Stay tuned---

Oh Angie - it's going to be soooo wonderful! Just think of ALL the amazingly creative projects you'll be able to design/construct and FINISH...it'll be worth ALL the planning/delays and especially painting, which btw, looks fantastic! LOVE the colors!!
Can hardly wait to see the glorious FINISH...;-)

Where will you have your design wall? This is so exciting!! It's going to be wonderful for you. I can hear the birds and feel the gentle breeze coming thru the windows now. Ahhh....it's heaven!
While you 'only' gain 4 inches by taking down the wall.. in reality you end up with a much bigger sewing room because of taking the wall down.
I am envious... I am stuck in the garage without a window or two! I love my area, but would love a window!
In your plan, you don't seem to have shown the two sides of the new room where the old wall still juts out a bit on each side. How are you going to get around them with your tables?
And where is the Long Arm going?
I can't wait to see the room totally finished and everything back in place.
I get my new Dreamweaver sometime this week, I am beyond excited.
Also... do you find it easier to have an ironing 'table' instead of an ironing board?
This is fabulous! I'm loving the color you chose too and so jealous of the flooring! I had to stick with the carpet that was in the room when I took it over after my daughter got married. It's nice carpet but the sewing chair doesn't roll as easily as it would on hardwood. Thanks for the update. The space looks wonderful!
Angie - beautiful! You are going o have quite the space .. Wahoo! Love your color and am looking forward to seeing your progress.
This is going to be so awesome, Angie. We just painted and carpeted the upstairs playroom, and all of my "stuff" is piled in the guest room, scaring me to death. I can't wait to see your "after" pics!
