When we decided to make the move back home, my husband took on the charge to find our new home. He was traveling back and forth to work in Georgia anyway so he spent time visiting properties, taking pics and measurements, and eventually narrowed down his search to two homes.
After building 3 homes and remodeling our home in Pennsylvania, I was tired of home renovations… yep, I had finally hit my limit. So my only request was “MOVE-IN READY!”
Obviously, I trust him implicitly.
Well, we didn’t wind up with move-in ready, but it’s not too bad (for me!). The husband has repainted the entire house (vaulted ceilings and all)… refinished the wood floors, added A/C vents here and there… and on and on and on…
Our biggest project will be finishing the basement – a huge, scary project that I will definitely document and share.
So for the first time in a long time, I really don’t have anywhere to sew, but I’m making it work! I’m camped out on the dining room table and on a folding table in the middle of our skeleton basement.
We’re working to get this renovation going quickly. Here are the before pictures of what will become my studio.


It’s a total blank slate. I really don’t have any vision for the after, but I know it will come together.

Do you have any ideas to share? What features would you put into your dream studio? Please share in the comments below.
