A Draft of My Future Sewing Room
Next spring, when I graduate with my bachelor’s, I will finally be moving in with my boyfriend of 5 years. One of my requirements if he wanted me to move in was to have one room for my sewing stuff; to which he happily obliged.
The house he bought was a foreclosure and we’re currently still working on it. That means I have free reign to do a LOT of things.
I spent a good chunk of time sketching and pricing out things to figure out my budget. The picture is to scale exactly because math is fun and I didn’t spend all this time doing engineering crap for nothing.
A break down of my budget:
All Plywood Cabinets - $1,000
Cement & Framing for Countertops - $200
Iron Oxide - $30
Shelving - $100
LED Lighting - $60
Metal Peg Board - $100
White Board - $120
Ergonomic Chair - $100
Miscellaneous Organization Stuff -$290
This gives me a total of $2000
Holy crap that’s a lot of money.
Why, yes. Yes it is.
I’ve spent the past 4.5 years being extremely frugal so I could manage to make it through college debt free. Gosh dang it, I’m going to use some of the money I managed to save for something I truly want.
I’m going off my own experience for the things I want in my sewing room. If ya’ll have some recommendations for things I should be building/adding-in, please throw suggestions my way!
