IF we get this house we have an offer on (closing will be Nov 8), I will get a 10X20--25 ft sewing room.
It will be a converted AZ Room (right now it has a swing hanging from the ceiling (East end) on one end and the rest is open with a couple of pillars holding the roof up on the South side where the other long wall will be going). On the house side (North side) are the sliding glass doors into the LR (will convert it into ONE single door and have the Design Wall next to it (toward the mountains- East side) and the other end (west side) has the sliding glass door into the house that is already there and then one that will go out into the yard. Think I will lose that last 5 ft X 10 ft area--(maybe put the swing in there to look out into the backyard.)
So how MANY windows should I have on the backyard side--looking out to the roses and garden area and how far apart should they be or should I just have one double side by side window there? It'll be a 25 foot wall total...with sliding doors?or single door? in the last 5 ft. I DO need shelving for both my fabric and books (no, I don't have as much as Cats (Cheryl in OZ) does but I'm working on that
Where would the best place be to put My compie?
How many OUTLETS will I need besides the ones for the SM, compie, iron, extra lights, etc? How far apart should I have them? In a NORMAL house they mainly are every 10 ft (that is what they told us when we had the house built in B'splat --had 7 in the Studio and that was NOT enuf there).
Why the rush? The 'builder' will be here tomorrow AM (Oct 20) to discuss where I want what. I don't have time to run out and look anything up at the library, etc....cause I just found out....
AND if you don't get to respond to this by the deadline and you have ideas PLEASE share them anyway as it will be a bit before the house will be added onto..... ( I MIGHT get a new Sewing Room for Christmas this year :) I know some of this has been discussed before but.if you don't mind.retelling or sharing what you ran into when you were doing yours I would appreciate it. (Butterfly-Wings @ cox. net) if you wanna go email.
