Before I start with the meat of this post I would like to wish everyone who stops here a very "Bonne Annee". I hope you all can stick to your new year's resolution, mine is to sew everyday even if it's but one seam. Thank you also to those of you that left comments lately, I have been terrible at answering, in great part because I have been offline mostly. The gratuitous picture of Uli the gorgeous cat is just here to compensate for the ugliness of the pictures to come...
I always like reading blog entries about renovations, especially in the regular homes of regular people, if you didn't catch my meaning: not millionaires, professional interiors decorator or architects. Just regular people with an inclination for change and a garage full of hammers. I like reading about it so much in fact that I decided to write about it. You see, after a bout of winter blues coupled with cabin fever I decided that we had to move to a bigger nicer place ASAP. However, after driving around the valley I realized that I might have failed to notice that the little incorporated city of Holladay (where we live) is quite nice actually. Nothing like shopping around to make you realize what you already have. So we are staying put for now and looking for solutions to our space problem in-house.
This soul searching resulted in carving out a new small room out of the empty space in the master bedroom. In theory master bedrooms are a nice idea, if your house as a lot of bedrooms already but we only have three where we need four. So up a wall is coming, and through a wall a door will be, see for yourselves:

I can't wait to see what you are doing! I had no idea you were thinking of moving. We are thinking about it, too. Always... (even though we just moved...ha! But this move would be of an out-of-country sort!)

That is WONDERFUL Juliette!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! A big window with lots of sun to create in will be wonderful! NO more bringing the machine up from the basement or clearing the dining table to create! I am thinking that in a year or two when the youngest babies move out to college I will knock down the wall in my studio and create a bigger studio. It would be lovely to have a space for sewing and space for painting. :)
