Sewing Closet Wall Art


Even though we will be starting on our third year in this house, there are still a few things to decorate. Like my sewing closet walls. 
I had been planning on hanging something on the wall above the table from the beginning. But I was undecided as to whether I wanted the same vintage adverts or not. They didn't feel right, so I kept thinking on it. Then I came across these French illustrations from the 1920's. I love the colors! Just what the sewing closet needed!

I took these pictures yesterday afternoon and the sun was shining in so nicely! And for some reason it made everything rosy pink. (Which is fine with me!) 
I know the pictures are not hung the straightest, but they really aren't that crooked in real life! 

Of course my favorite is the pink hat! Don't you love their expressions? So chic!

I love how this picture captures the curve of the ceiling. ..........And the not so glamorous window air conditioner. But I am very proud we actually got one in the window (took a bit of diy engineering) and it is a neat and tidy job!

 Another new addition to the sewing room is a pin dish. I ran across this idea on Pinterest and have been keeping my eye open for pretty saucers.
It is so simple to just add magnets on the bottom of a dish and Voila!, you have a pin dish! Because this dish has a very small rim, I ordered tiny earth magnets that are thinner and they work perfectly!

 It has been so fun collecting dishes! I ended up with too many options! But one can always use several pin dishes right? 

 It is so nice to have a clean and tidy sewing room! (It was a bit overdue for a clean.) And now I have something inspiring to look at!

  2. Your sewing room is beautiful! The fashion prints look terrific. Your magnetic pincushion is adorable! I hadn't seen that idea before, but think I will have to make one too. : ) I am using a plastic magnetic pincushion that I have had forever. I think I could use a change!

  3. I love your vintage pictures. They remind me of Maisie Dobbs in the Jacqueline Winspear mystery books. Have you read her books? If not I think you would really enjoy them. Your sewing room is SEW sweet! LOL! I love it!

      I think I have read a Maisie Dobbs, but now I can't remember! I will have to look her up again.
