Before and after 2nd story addition
Posted on September 26th, 2011
This home is a typical Cape Cod style home in the metro Boston, MA area. It’s close to shopping, all major highways, public transportation to Boston, etc. The problem is that it was built in the 1950s and has little space. Plus, the rooms are too small, the kitchen dated, bathrooms insufficient….etc. Sound familiar? This house can be in almost any major metro market.

Inspirational Interiors: sewing rooms
Posted on September 22nd, 2011
This bookshelf is perfect for crafty people- the sturdy deep shelving means you can store larger, heavier books and the custom-made partitions allow you to design the layout to your personal needs. The shelving neednt just be for books as the image shows. The drawers at the bottom would be great to store fabric.

The best part of having a dedicated sewing room is that you can make it all your own and dont need to tidy things away at the end of the day. Use one wall purely as an inspiration board to get those creative juices flowing!

If youre in your sewing room often, its important to make the room bright, comfortable and accessible for your own well being. No one works well in a poorly-lit, dull, uninspiring office. Sewers need lots of natural light.

Always be on the lookout for small storage containers for your bits and bobs- you can find things in the most unexpected of places! The container may not have been initially designed to store buttons and threads but it may do the job perfectly.

Back to School Bean Bag Chairs
Posted on September 21st, 2011
Excuse me, but where did Summer go?! I cannot believe school is just a couple weeks away. I went shopping at Target yesterday for school supplies, and I wasn’t the only one that’s for sure! It was total chaos, but I managed to find everything on my daughter’s 2nd grade list. On my way to check out, I noticed dinky little bean bag chairs on the floor down one of the aisles packed with kids furniture and accessories. Upon further investigation, let me just say that I was surprised how poorly crafted some bean bags can be…
I know it was Target, and not some fancy shmancy furniture store, but I was still expecting more in terms of quality. I didn’t notice them flying off the shelves, people kind of took a quick look, maybe picked it up to inspect, and then moved on. These were the same Moms and Dads I just had the pleasure of perusing the school supply aisles with. And then it hit me that back-to-school supplies aren’t just #2 pencils and 3-ring binders. It’s also bean bag chairs!
Parents need to create environments that will encourage their children to use those pencils and binders. And what better to study, work, and read than in a comfortable, cozy bean bag chair? Right?! You can set up a place in the house devoted to schoolwork by installing some easy-to-do things to a corner or nook. Think bean bag, but also think small side table, a bright lamp, etc. Look at my other post “How to Help Your Child Read ” for more great ideas on how to get them to crack that book.
