lisae Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 We've been in our new house for a year now. I am lucky to have a large loft at the top of the stairs for my Quilt Cave. Although it's large, it seemed like I didn't have enough space, especially when friends would come to quilt with me. A couple of weeks ago I got the idea of rearranging. I wasn't sure if it would work. Last weekend I took the plunge and I love how it turned out. Now to get the big tv off the wall. My husband insisted I need it...I've watched it once. This is before, longarm crosswise in the room. My sewing machine and cutting cabinet are hiding behind the longarm. This is after the reorg..nice and open! I will gain about 2 more feet once I remove the tv and floating cabinet. For perspective, the rug is 9x11. Looking the other way towards the stairs. And the gorgeous cabinet Lisa C's hubby made for me! I wonder if I'll get more quilting done now haha! It does feel so much better though. micajah, Oma, Southern Quilts and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMissy Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Isn't it wonderful to have a great space dedicated to our creativity. I have rearranged mine several times and still not comfy. I think your new layout is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apylinski Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Love what you've done. How big is your space? We are closing on a new home tomorrow. It has a bonus room about 16'x18'. Unfortunately it has sloped ceilings . I'm trying to figure out how to set up my 12' Millie and a sewing and storage area in it. Always nice to see others set ups. Thanks for sharing.

Battynurse Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 That room looks fabulous. I really would love to have one room for all my sewing stuff. Someday maybe. I love your cutting cabinet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well, thanks for that. Now I feel the need to clean my studio!!! Actually, I love your space. I need storage like that. Now I have the wheels turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ann, The loft is about 16x18 too. The longarm just fits on the short wall. There is a door to one of the bedrooms on that wall so I wasn't sure if it would fit. Good luck and congratulations on your new home! Mary Beth, the cabinet was probably the best investment I have made aside from my longarm. It is not only beautiful but functional. I highly recommend having something custom made if you can afford it. It is well worth every penny! LisaC and Mary Beth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootsquilts Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Love your Happy Place. It is great to have a room big enough for all your happy things.

quiltedsunflower Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 They started framing on our new house last week. I will have a dedicated space in the basement - but it's a walk out with lots of windows and natural light. I don't know the dimensions of the room exactly, but I'm hoping it's at least the 16 x 18 that you all are talking about. Everything is in storage now so I can hardly wait to get moved!!! lisae and Neher-in-law5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Quiltedsunflower, are you able to put heated floors in your basement? That would be a great space. I would use our walkout basement too, if it wasn't full of the income business stuff! When you check out options to finish off that basement floor check into the product Polytec. It is an epoxy style finish we used in the church basement. It should keep the musty odor down and stop the dampness associated with cement floor. Area rugs could be put in area where you choose. Have fun with your space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltedsunflower Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I was looking for some type of floor finish. Hadn't heard of Polytec but I'll give it a look-see. I love this forum. So much to learn!!! Neher-in-law5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilta93 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 My room is 14" by 18". 2 extra feet would be great. Deb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
