I took a thrift shop bought bulletin board and trimmed it with upholstery webbing, crochet trim, upholstery tacks, and added a flower pin to the corner. The only material bought for the project was the webbing which was 1.50$.
I hung up a couple of thing I love too, a butterfly display Richard brought to me when he went on a Panama trekking expedition, and an old pharmacy sign I bought at a flea market in Paris which is a nice memory of a trip I took to visit one of my best friends and where we spent Gigi’s first birthday. We went to a cafe for her birthday and Gigi threw two glasses onto the ground and smashed them!Gigi is actually named after St. Genevieve, the patron Saint of Paris. The pharmacy sign is magnetic so I can finally hang up my magnetic letters! Above the sign is a little metal flowered plaque I bought at a garage sale for a dollar.

What a lovely sewing space you now have, it’s so bright and tidy and inspiring! I also love the anecdote about your friend and the fabric!!!
Totally wonderful makeover! I love it and love the story about the curtains and thrift store remorse ๐
how fun! i love refreshing little areas of my home…it makes things feel so much better ๐ great job!
Beautiful! I’m hoping to do my area in December, and this is wonderful inspiration. Especially the hook for your scissors. I have something similar that I will have to use!
Very sweet room. I have a very similar display of butterflies in my sewing room. Somehow I pictured your sewing room to be bigger!!
I am always having mini makeovers in my room. I’m going to steal some of your practical ideas;)
Lovely little space. And that chair is so sweet! I can already tell I am going to love your blog…so hoping over to become a follower ๐
Great makeover! I bet you will feel even more inspired to sew with that lovely nook to do it in! The desk looks fab with the paint and walnut-stained look, and I love the hooks for hanging scissors and tapes. Might have to copy that idea, as I’m always losing track of them!
