I can't tell you how much I am enjoying the extra space. Since I have finished moving everything around, I have spent hours sitting and working on blogs at my desk, doing some stitching at my table, and just plain enjoying the area the way I used to, before it all became too overwhelmed with "stuff".
So without further babble on my part... here's my tour of sorts!
Staircase to the second story attic... lovely steep stairs that are just plain miserable for hauling dolls and furniture up and down. I must have made a 100 trips up and down these and the basement stairs the past few weeks, while moving everything around. Could be why my bones and joints and achy now?
Staircase:
Right at the top of the stairs is a little sitting area and my desk and office space.
This end of the room is the north end of the space. My desk used to be at the other end, under the south facing window, but often times it was so bright I couldn't actually see the computer, so this works much better for me. I kept just a few of my really large dolls up in my work area for company.
Two large book cases with pattern books, and patterns I've acquired and saved over the years.
I dragged this chest of drawers up those stairs myself, I really needed someplace to store fabric...
My spinning wheel is under that brown cover beside it.
This is looking towards the middle of the room and the other end ( south) where my desk used to be
In the middle of the room I have a large banquet table, that I use for cutting fabric, ironing and stitching.
and on the opposite wall is my sewing machine table
At the south end of the room where my desk used to be located, I have set up another table which will be my potting/seedling table, once my seeds are up. Right now they are in the dinning room in the hot south sun, but in a week or so, I will move them up here to the smaller south window and florescent lights until they are ready to go outside.
On the wall behind the table, I have a felt wall - which is just an old felt-lined plastic table cloth I have attached to the wall. I use it to put quilt pieces that I am working on.... right now there is just odds and ends on there.
And then there is the nook. This is the little room, I once had a single bed in. I decided it would be a great place to put all my supplies, so now it is the supply nook. It's really great to have everything in one spot, instead of scattered all over the place.
And finally a shot of the full space from the south end to the north end.
It's not a small space, and now without the dolls and the bed - there is so much more room for me to rumble about in.
So now you know what I have been doing the past few weeks.
I will have the doll room tour soon -
