Raise your hand if you use your formal dining room more than five times a year. If so, congratulations to you and your fabulous life full of gourmet dinner parties and sparkling conversation with your interesting and fashionable friends. The rest of us use it for folding laundry.
Christy decided to reclaim her formal dining room into a space that would get a little more daily action. After all, what is the point of even having all that square footage if you literally spend more time in the garage? So she went against the norm and made it into her own private craftopia! I’m jealous. See more on her blog Beach Brights. Thanks Christy!

April 27, 2011 at 11:43 PMThat is a FRICKIN’ awesome room!! We have that same opinion about the extra room/formal dining room floorplans, thus we’ve never had a house with anything other than a Great room. One room just for visiting teachers on uncomfy furniture no one wants to sit on longer than 20 minutes at a time.

April 28, 2011 at 4:56 AMThat is a beautiful use of the space. I am envious, for sure! If it didn’t fit her lifestyle as a dining room, I hope she gets a ton of use out of it now.

April 28, 2011 at 3:31 PMOMGoodness! So jealous right now! I would sew forever and a day and never get tired. The lighting, storage, colors and setup…….makes my little sewing corner look like a closet sweatshop.
Great job!!!

May 1, 2011 at 12:24 AMFantastic transformation. But… on her blog she says it’s her formal LIVING room, not dining room. She still has (and looks like she very much uses) a formal dining room. You can see the table and chairs through the wide arched doorway in the pics on her blog.
