A Very New Room.

Posted on | July 27, 2019 | 19 Comments

A new room to be used as a sewing studio has been a dream for a long time. Recently we decided to bite the bullet and build an extension to the house. We were aware that not everyone wants a sewing room so we made sure it could serve another purpose for a prospective buyer in the distant future, so we included an en suite and walk in robe to make it into a master bedroom/parent’s retreat. But for now it is purely craft!!

Photos to follow show it clean and empty.

Looking into the room from the rest of the house.
Same view but showing the double doors out to the pergola area and garden.
Looking back to the connecting door through the office.
One side of the storeroom ( wardrobe). The other side also has shelves and hanging space. All that is inside still needs sorting but it had to be off the floor for the carpet to go in.
The little office that is the connecting room for the extension.

The main part of the room measures 10 metres by 5 metres.

Just to get an idea of size here are photos with only a few things moved in.

This looks incredibly tidy but I can guarantee it no longer looks like this. We decided to carpet all the bedrooms as well the next week, so everything has to be moved out of all those rooms ready to be carpeted on Tuesday. Chaos reigns at the moment but hopefully all will be good in a few more weeks. Can’s wait to be able to play in this new space.

Cheers, Karen
