Last weekend I started to paint my new sewingroom.
I have chosen light antique (almost white) as colour. And I am so glad I repainted the room, because the previous wall colour was so yellow-green-creamish and not that pretty. I wanted my sewingroom to be light and airy.
After a trip to Ikea I have put together a new shelf and a new drawer. (Have I mentioned I hate going around at Ikea LOL and last two weeks I have been there four times LOL)
And then I started to move in. My old sewingroom exploded in to the new one.
Frida have already found her place in the sewingroom. Even though it was a complete mess at the desk she claimed the quilt in front of the window to be her place. And so it will be :)Frida the quilt inspector have to have her own place in the sewingroom.
From having a tiny little sewingroom with space only for one person to sit and sew, I now have room for four persons around the table. I do not understand how I manage to store everything in my previous sewingroom. I still have a lot of tidying to do. I have just moved everything from the old room to the new room, and I want to organize a little bit more.
When work is a pleasure,
AND THEN........
tadaaaaaaaaa.........
today I finished moving in
I have a new sewingroom

Your new sewing room looks great, so organized!
wow, what a great sewing room, I am sure qou will enjoy working in it. And that quilt over your chest of drawers is just awesome!
Isn't it funny how ikea is the same everywhere and you can find similar furniture in any flat anywhere in the world? :-)

Your new room looks great! I'm sure it feels great too. I've never been to an Ikea store, but there is one now in this area - kind of far from here, though. Someday I'll have to go see what they have.
Gratulere med nytt syrom! Der blir det nok sydd mange nye prosjekter - og fullført gamle.
Gratulerer May Britt Kjempe lyst og lekkert har det blitt!!!!!!!!. Tips til designvegg er en stor rullgardin festet flanell til som kan trekkes ned ved behov
Lykke til meg å nyte rommet!
Beautiful!! You will really enjoy your bigger sewing room. I wish I could bring my sewing machine and sew with you.

What a great space!
Tusen takk for de flotte bildene av Frida ! Jeg har fall pladask for det skjønne lille pelstrynet:o) Gratulerer med nytt syrom - det ser kjempe koseligt ut! God plass ved symaskin og plass til gode venner :o))
I love it!! Such a beautiful room. I'm so excited for you. You have made it so cute and welcoming. A place anyone would love to be.
What a wonderful room you now have - those trips to Ikea were so worth it!
Love all your tins and boxes and ...well everything! :)
Gratulere så mye med nytt syrom :-)

It looks WONDERFUL!!! What a wonderful place to sew and create, and you can even have friends join in the fun... very nice :o)
Gratulerer med nytt syrom - ser kjempetrivelig ut.
Congratulations!!!! I love the room. They do have a lot of nice stuff at Ikea, although it is a pest to be there, he he. I am going upstairs this minute to celebrate your sewingroom with some cake ;))
Its beautiful! Congrats on the great new area to sew.
Congratulations, your new sewingroom looks just perfect! Well done!
Lovely space to quilt with friends! Looks fantastic...when is the next stitch and gab?!!
What a fabulous space, I especially like that you have room for friends to sew with you. Now I am really contemplating a switch in my house too!
Had to chuckle when you said you "love" to go to Ikea. My daughter went yesterday, and hated it. She said she'd never go back. Too much confusion and disarray for her. Love your new sewing room. It's looks so pretty. I hope you have lovely times in there with your friends.
Så lekkert syrom du har fått! Og så lyst og romslig. Og den quilten på veggen med quiltere på var kjempefin!
Congratultions on your new sewing room. It is beautiful !!
Your room is wonderful, and certainly full of light. I know Freda is very pleased with her new place in the sun too. The table you use is beautiful and I would love to see a picture of the complete chair. Looks so sturdy and like a great, comfy workspace.
Wow! what a wonderful new space! Happy sewing in your new room!
Gratulerar till ditt nya syrum, det ser jättemysigt ut!
Your new workspace looks great, you will have a lot of fun sewing there with your friends, or alone!

Your new room looks so inviting. I just know you will create wonderful works of art in your new space. My sewing room is a chaotic mess at the moment and in great need of a facelift as well. Maybe I need to move everything out and start over. I could pretend I'm moving into a "new" room and get it all re-organized!
WOW---Awesome.......wonderfull room and yes, light-bright and all else ....choice of colors reat, plus kitty got the best spot in the house .......
crongrats to you and kitty
Congratulations on your wonderful new sewing room. It looks great and you have so much space for visitors.
Wow! Everything seems so handy and sooo nice and neat.
It was worth investing all this time and effort. Your room looks fantantic and is inviting to new quilting projects. Ups, looking forward to starting stitching angels swap.
Best regards from Spain.

Grattis till ditt nya fina syrum! Det ser ljust och fint ut och jag hoppas att du kommer att trivas och skapa mycket fint i det. Kramar Ulrika
You've inspired me....I have a reasonably good sized sewing room but aaaaargh...in desperate need of a fix-up! Guess what's on my list for the weekend???
Have a great week
;o)

What a fantastic room May Britt, lots of room for friends and looks like you have great lighting as well...
How wonderful to have a place like that for sewing. I would love that much room. Enjoy
How inviting! It "oozes" creativity!
What a wonderful new space! I hope I can transform my son's room as fast once he moves out! My son feels the same way about IKEA - we went recently (it's an hour and a half to get there) and went thru the entire store in about 45 minutes - and that was with me constantly making him wait while I checked something out. He wanted to look at beds and bureaus and leave!
Your room looks wonderful and I love your table. You should be very productive in that light, airy space.
What a brilliant sewing room - congratulations!!!I love the idea of having room for more than one person - so cool to be able to have friends....
Enjoy your new sewing room! So glad Frida already has her place.
Lovely!!! You will want to spend lots of time in that room!
Many little steps make a great room, many little posts make a great teacher, many little jokes make a quiltfriend, many little stiches make great quilts. Happy quilting and greatings
Cornelia
Congratulations May, you no what they say a bigger room a bigger mess to create, Have fun!!!
May, your sewing room is awesome!! Worth all those trips to IKEA don't you think? ;-)You will be so inspired to create in that beautiful space! Good on you!!!
Fantastic news May Britt. Congratulations on finally moving in to your roomier sewing room. It looks just beautiful. I need a BIG tidy up in my large craft room. Seems to be that the more space I have, the untidier it gets!
May, I love your new sewing room, and I have been living at Ikea for the past month. Now I have to go back to things for my sewing room. Enjoy all of that space and what wonderful light you have.
Enjoy.
What a beautiful light and airy sewing room you have created! It is so inviting, the perfect space for wonderful creations. You have inspired me to re think my room now.
A delightful room and it will be a pleasure to work in.
Tillykke med dit nye syværelse, det er blevet rigtig flot, og din kat ser også ud til den nyder de nye omgivelser.
Congrats on your new room! Great space!
Härligt jobbat May Britt.. det ser helt underbart ut.. åhhh va skoj du kommer att ha därinne!!!!! :o))
May Britt,
What a fantastic inviting space- I am sure that you will enjoy many happy hours creating there with your handsome cat at your side. I bet your cat loves having a window to survey the world outside.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Anna
I love your new room! I hope you get to spend many, many wonderful hours of creating in there.
Jøjemeg!!! For et herlig sy-rom du endte opp med! Håper kreativiteten vil blomstre med gleden av å ha et så fint sy-rom! Kos deg masse ;o)
Lappeklem,
Laia
Your new sewing room is absolutely wonderful. Won't it be fun to have your stitching friends over for a great time of stitching together in a room that has everything :). Congrats on a job well done. Now enjoy it.
Hugs - Karen
Ååååh, så fint du har fått det i ditt nya syrum! Frida ser ut att tycka om sitt nya rum också...
När jag fick ett eget syrum var det ordning och reda ungefär 3 dagar, du skulle se hur där ser ut NU! Jag blir riktigt inspirerad av dina bilder till att börja städa opp i rummet, men då vet jag inte var jag har mina saker längre...
oh you are going to have so much fun in there....I have only been to Ikea once and that was just after putting Whitney on the plane to Wales so I wasnt exactly "with it" don't remember much but did manage to buy some material...LOL
congrats on your new sewing room, i love it. i don't think those shelves could hold one more thing. lol
Kjempeflott syrom, så rent, lyst og deilig :-) Håper du får masse tid til å kose deg i dette rommet ja. Ha en flott dag.
Your new sewing room is great! It's so cute that Frida has declared it great, too! LOL!
Kjempeflott syrom du har fått deg her. Venter spent på å se alt det flotte du kommer til å sy her inn:-)
Ohhhh! Your new sewing room looks gorgeous....
You are so much lucky.
This year I´ve join up the stitching angels swap. I already have my partner´s name and I´m looking for the next monday to came so we can start.
Sincerelly, Teresa Sako.
You were brave to get all that work done in your holidays, but it was worth it, wasn't it? And lucky indeed with having a bigger room to move into. Don't think I will be able to convince my DH we need to sleep in a smaller room, but well, I just move all my stuff to the living room when necessary ;-).
What a beautiful sewing room. I dream of having a sewing room one day!
Enjoy.
May, your sewing room is wonderful. You will have many, many hours of joy in this special space.
A question...what is the name of the quilt hanging/designer of the four needleworking scenes? It is really nice!
Gratulerer med flott syrom!
What a nice space to spend some quality time. 4 trips to Ikea how brave.
I am very much looking forward to inspect your new sewing room in person :-)
Gratulerer med et kjempeflott syrom. Lyst og deilig. Der kommer du nok til å kose deg masse.
