Our shop work area
I had a trailer when me and my husband got married, and then we decided to buy a house. So we were left with the question what do we do with the trailer? We went back and forth for several years.
When I decided I would like to do quilting, sewing, crafting. We decided to look closer at the trailer. We had it and all it was doing was sitting there. So the end of January February, I went in and cleared out all of our old stuff , then decided we needed to take out all the carpet. The roof was leaking so we had a company out of Natchez come and fix that for us. Then where the roof leaked there was some damage on the inside as well so we checked around and went with a construction company out of Brookhaven.
Right before we got the construction crew called, priced and decided who we were going with was about the time I decided to be stupid and let my horse knock me down. One major surgery and then a second surgery to clean out the wound. So since April 14th I have been out of commission when it came to working on the flooring, shop etc. I am doing alot better I am healed now just trying to get the motion back so I’ll be as good as new and with God’s grace I WILL get there.
Got that fixed then it was on to painting the floors. I was out of commission for that which was so not fair but I needed to heal so I tried my best to stay out of the way (boy it was hard because I really wanted to help). Mimi and Paw did an awesome job painting the floors and then stenciling the floors.
I got to do the black room tho– I was super excited to get to help!!!!
For the Main room and hall way instead of painting and stenciling we decided to go with hardwood flooring. Easier on our old backs, knees and also went faster too ha ha ha.
The trailer had three bedrooms so we decided to turn one into the kids room so they would have somewhere they could play in or watch tv while we did our crafting. I also took the carpet up in that room as well but we didn’t paint that floor. I wanted something softer for them to sit on, play, lay on the floor so we went with reversible floor mats in different colors. We got ours at Sam’s club. They are super easy to put in and also the kids love them.
Mimi already had all the machines we needed to set up our shop. She has been collecting sewing machines for many many years, and has old ones(treadle machine) to the industrial machines and everything in between. I bought me a regular sewing machine and for Christmas last year she bought me a serger.
Now to get it all decorated!!!!!!
