Subject: RE: BS: Shape up you women...right now!
When I converted my attached garage into an office and sunroom I put a deep bay window and a door into the space where the garage door had previously existed. These three windows let in a lot of good light into that sunroom, and though it's more like a large mudroom now, acting as a staging area for remodelling in the rest of the house, it is my goal to use this room primarily for crafts and sewing. I built a wide and shallow (about 12 inches deep) set of shelves in on the wall perpendicular to the windows, and we hung a mirrored closet door on it. Though not everything will fit in there, a great deal does, plus the glass reflects light and make the room look very large. I'll put some shelves up on another wall when I get to the point where I can finish this room (no floor tile down yet, it's the last room I'll tile). We're all looking forward to using this space as designed, though we have some access now. It keeps the beads, glue, paint, markers, scraps of fabric, etc., out of the rest of the house, which is a real plus.
