No, @Iminei but the bathroom is next door.  There would be room for an ensuite in one of the cupboards !
You mean the stash cupboard.

One cupboard is the size of my sewing space  :laughing:

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

I told the architect that I wanted cupboards upstairs having lived for 22 years with just one small one.  He obliged and there are 5.  The 'linen' cupboard in the bathroom was so enormous we made it into a shower cubicle and took the end off the bathroom for a smaller cupboard plus an extra in the sewing room.

DH and I got my Horn cabinet and cutting table upstairs this morning.  I now need to refit all the flaps and I'm good to go!  I think Fedex are bringing curtain fabric and poles today.

That's a beautiful sewing space @Ploshkin , and well worth waiting for!  I'm very envious of your cupboard space...

Look forward to seeing it kitted out.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

My 15 packages from IKEA arrived this morning, only 2 days after I ordered them. I blame @Ploshkin - I think she's earning commission from the Swedes  ;)

I wasn't expecting it so quickly though having paid narmanaleg for ordinary delivery it seemed only right. It was the adjustable trestles you were flogging recommending that tempted me so I will have a 4ft long cutting table. And I bought a desk with a bank of drawers one end and legs the other which should take two machines. And a swivel chair. The other bits were for the guest room.

DH played a blinder.  I didn't realise that there is a hidden skill in all the time he spends under lorries and tractors.  He is able to reach into impossible spaces at impossible angles and put in screws by feel alone.  He voluntarily put  all the flaps back on my sewing cabinet and cutting table in a fraction of the time it would have taken me.  He also took all my boxes of fabric upstairs ( I don't think he realises that there are 2 big ones on top of the wardrobe  ;) ).  Fedex brought all my curtain poles but no fabric.  I do have one lot for our existing bedroom so I can make a start.
It's actually nice to have some space back downstairs.

You mean the stash cupboard.

Yes. Let's call it what it really is. Stash cupboard.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

This room looks fantastic, I cant wait to see more.  If I had that space I think I might be tempted by a floor loom  :devil:, If I put one in my room I wouldn’t get in the door.  What size loom are you thinking of getting ????

I love seeing other peoples rooms, think I should have been an estate agent. :laughing:
