Anyway this is a hodge podge of items left over from when we purchased our new house. The previous owner passed away and they left most of the possesions in the house. It's a combination of old kitchen tables and and island from the kitchen before we remodeled it (which btw works GREAT as a cutting table). Old lamps, etc....but hey nice to be able to repurpose it instead of putting it in the landfill. :)
I still want to paint the knotty pine (the entire basement, and kitchen were knotty pine)And someday I will drywall the basement and make it more of an acctual from....but right now I want to spend that money on a frame to put on the opposite wall :)
At first I was kinda not excited about having the basment, but I am able to spread out, and it's nice and cool in the summer here. Anyway here it is....not much but I LOVE it! :)

What a great room you have. I just love knotty pine and would keep it. It's really nice that you have friends to quilt with. Thanks for mentioning the batting on Joann's the other day. I ordered it on line and had 50% off. Joyce Ann

I'm sew jealous of your BASEMENT!!! I'd get a divorce and move to have that basement. I live in FL., NO basements here,lol!! I guess I'd rethink the divorce(he's a great guy), but I would move!! Do you need a roommate?

a friend of mine has a "studio" she bought- it is shaped like a tea pot on the outside, complete with spout. It is so cute. she wanted to sell it, but it wasn't big enough to quilt in.
I like your basement work space. It is really neat.
