Lorna's Craft Room

Lorna's grandmother Adena supported herself as a seamstress making wedding and formal dresses. So of course Lorna has always sewed too. She also creates beautiful Ukrainian eggs. For weeks when she was making Covid masks our kitchen was a factory. We have a couple of "extra" rooms. We give books away, but they still seem to accumulate. One room will become a sunny library/reading room. Between the eggs and fabric she decided she also needed a craft room.

The work table is a power lift table - push a button and it raises up, another and it lowers. The drawers under the table are typical Amazon - flat box containing a thousand pieces. They took over an hour apiece to assemble, but work quite well. We are currently shopping for two desk chairs, one high one, the other low for the sewing cabinet. 

The corner cabinets began as straight line (not corner) unfinished solid wood modular cabinets. We bought them for almost nothing at a literal "firesale" a decade ago and they were unfinished and smoke damaged. It required a surprising amount of time to get it painted, particularly the top. I particularily like the knobs - all different hand painted patterns.

Still in process, more special pictures to be framed, likely different curtains. No photo, but there is a large window facing the lake.
