I got inspired to show you my sewing room after Zura blogged about hers i have been meaning to blog about my sewing room you might remember my sneak peek here, here and here.
This post is picture heavy but hopefully it wont bore you …..let us begin 
Welcome to my sewing room
this is what you see as you open the door
Check out this carpet i LOVE the heart and its was made for me – bought it from Ikea
Turn to your left and you see my cutting table
Lets us take a closer look of the cutting table shall we?
The table is actually not a table at all but 2 Ikea Lack bookcases placed on their sides!
above this i have 2 Ikea Lack shelves
and right next to this is where i keep my fabrics, the bookcase with the glass shelves stores my non craft books
and the plastic drawers i keep my work in progress projects
Then there is a big window in the middle of the room
the same one you were faced with upon entering and to the right of that is the Expedit Bookcase which is i LOVE
and on the other side of this is my office
I stenciled “Connect to the world” above my workstation
Back to my workstation for a closer look
next to this another big window and my sewing machine
The L shape Galant ikea table is a great table for sewing one, plenty of space
I keep the bags up there for inspiration and motivation
So here is this is the before
and the after
I do hope you enjoyed this loong tour of my creative space
Leave me a comment with your thoughts i would love to hear them
I’ll be linking to these parties

honestly, i adore what you have done to your sewing room, life colors and really gives you the energy to do your work,,,,
I love all the red in your decor! Brilliant!
Cute room! I can’t imagine having enough space to have an entire room. How fun!
Wow it is beautiful! You are so organized! I hope to have a room so beautiful someday.
I love the new look!! The new curtains are super cool! I love all the light in your craft room. I am very jelous, first of the room, second of the natural lighting. I am working on transforming a closet in my basement into my craft room. You did a great job! Thanks for sharing!!
OMG how amazing ! a very major change!
it look sooo cute yet the colors are fresh and calming/relaxing <3 love it
Ikea is fantastic and so is your room. I’m so jealous!
Love your creative space. The best part is obviously the huge window, it must be a dream to work with so much light in your room! Of course I’m a fan of red, so those shelves, etc in red totally had my heart fluttering. I really can’t imagine having that much space! If you saw the corner of the basement I’m in I think you’d feel cluster phobic for me!
I’ve been thinking of blogging about my room since I first got into it about 9 months ago but it is still a bit of a work in progress so it will have to wait until I am done.
Thanks for sharing your space with us Mayya. I don’t know about you, but my room is a total sanctuary and it isn’t always easy to share it with other people.

Did you paint the Expedit? I LOVE your whole look and style – very eye catching with awesome happy pops of colour.
I’m interested in buying an expedit off craigslist – can’t seem to find any of the blonde wood ones for sale, so was wondering if they were easy to paint. Did you? Any advice?
Thanks bunches!
Absolutely stunning …….. am thinking of creating my own little workspace too!

That is so amazing, really! I LOVE it!
Maybe mine will look like it when I finally get it. I love those Ikea furniture with clear shape. And those colors.
At the moment, mine looks like this: http://sonnis-neahkaestchen.blogspot.com/2010/06/nahplatz-makeover.html
But we are doing a complete makeover to our house and in the future I will get an own room for me and not only a table in our office room.

Mayya,
So inspiring! I just love your sewing room! The idea of taking Ikea shevling and turning them on their sides, wonderful. I sew as well ( I’m totally addicted to it.) but my space isn’t nearly as large. Thank you for sharing. I love all your red!

Nice decor mayya.. very nice n bright.. wish i hv 1 too..
I love the expedit unit! I really like how you used it next to your desk because it has the little cubbies that go all the way through – accessible from both sides!
Wow! Awesome room. I wish I had that much space! Love the pops of red! I bet it is an inspiring place to work.
Oooh! So jealous! I am visiting from the Girl Creative. My sewing space is in my basement. I am so jealous of all the daylight. It inspires happiness!

Oh, Mayya, your room is sew beautiful! That is an awesome idea about turning the bookshelves on their sides to make a table. You are lucky to have so many cool shelves to store stuff. I love the curtains and your colors, too.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sewing/office space! I love the bookcase idea. One day when I have more space I’m going to use that idea. Great way to add more workspace and organizing space. Way to think outside the box! Love your blog too by the way! New follower here!

Great job! Love how you turned the book shelf on it’s side. Brilliant.
I love it, I want it!! Why can’t I have it? Oh yeah, no spare room to put it in, sigh, now I’m bummed. Seriously though I dream of a room like this! I am going to try to do a little corner in my family room for sewing, and I’m thinking that cube thing you have might work to section it off from the rest of the room. Thanks for the idea!!
I’ve just become your newest follower!

Mayya looking really great girl!
Isn’t it a pity a IKEA doesn’t have frequent flyer rewards points … you would be jetting off all over the world in no time, with me as a companion
One day when we get an IKEA here in Oman our poor husbands won’t know what hit them
Until then its the annual pilgrimage to Dubai I guess…
When the kids are back at school after Ramadan lets catch up for a long overdue coffee before my bubba arrives.
What a wonderful space to work in! I love all the red. Thank goodness for Ikea. Now if I could only convince them to build one in Idaho.
