One Room Challenge: Sewing Room on a Budget | Week 4


It is week 4 of the One Room Challenge! If you are stopping by for the first time, the One Room Challenge is where 20 designers make over a space in 6 weeks. We can join in the fun as guest participants. I am taking over my son's old room and turning it into a sewing studio so I can have a space dedicated for sewing. I hope to open an Etsy shop really soon! Since I decided to throw my hat into the ring a day before the One Room Challenge began, I didn't line up sponsors so this room is being made over on a tight budget. Want to start from the beginning? Follow along starting at week 1, week 2 and week 3.

Not much progress has been made since last week. I have to admit I procrastinated. What did get finished, and it took me over a week was the $100 cabinet is done! FAT paint has generously sponsored the project. I was hoping to have a tips and tricks post set up, but I literally finished the cabinet on Tuesday. Hopefully I can get something set up for next week! Here is a sneak peek!



Urban Walls is also sponsoring my One Room Challenge makeover and a decision has been made on floral decals. I am going with the black and white flowers.


Fabric arrived from Tonic Living on Friday, and this week a soft sided Roman shade is being whipped up. I have a few pillows to sew to give the bed a daybed look. Here is a peak at some of the fabrics being used! I may or may not hang up drapes.


Artwork is being collected. Of course my favourite scissors print from Alanna Cavanagh is framed! Nicole from Visual Heart created a custom piece that is getting printed.  Now I need to source some more frames since Ikea was a dead end. They have a shortage on Ribba frames in black. Just my luck.


Need to re-paint my sewing organizer!

This week is the final stretch as I have to photograph the space next weekend. GULP!

  1. Ack - I haven't even started about thinking about art for my space! That said I'm really excited to see your space come together. Will you put together a post on how to sew a roman shade, or maybe share a good one you've found? That's on my 'eventually I'll do' list :)

    1. I have a Roman shade tutorial on my blog. Just look at sidebar and it’s listed as top post!!! I may have to do a new one as this will be a relaxed Roman shade.
