Funny how things can change in 10 years. When we first built the cabin this corner of the loft was set up for the computer. Back when computers were huge. Now I have a little laptop that is wireless. I can sit on the couch and click away.
When I started my quilting project this fall, I took the sewing machine from the guest bedroom to the computer table. There was still a bunch of computer things up there, but not anymore. I spent the morning rearranging. I took the unused computer stuff to the basement. Then I cleaned everything top to bottom. I brought in some crates for shelving. Brought up all of my sewing stuff. Then I added little things from here and there. I am very happy with the results.
If you look closely above, I can pull the machine forward while I'm sewing and the keyboard table gives me all sorts of room to keep my material. Below, I can push the machine back and I have plenty of room for cutting.
The nice thing with this move is if somebody comes to visit (which rarely happens in the winter) I don't have to move all of my sewing stuff out of the guest bedroom.
My little nook is right next to the window. I get plenty of light and anytime I want I can just look out at that wonderful view.

All and all, I'm happy with my little weekend project. It turned an old computer corner into a new quilting nook.
Love your nook...cozy and creatively functional (I like the way you use the keyboard tray!), with a beautiful view! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect nesting project! Now your like a little bird in your nest watching the world from above... Great creative nook!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea I have an old computer taking up room in a corner and sew on my kitchen table I may have to change that. Great idea. Love your little nook. B
ReplyDeleteI love your little sewing nook. I wish I had something similar. When I want to sew I have to haul my machine and a rollaway table out into the middle of our reading/computing room, which is a PITA.
ReplyDeleteI love it too! It really is the perfect place to sew and be creative!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, you are so creative.
ReplyDeleteSewing by the window is The Best! I like your nook.
