Breathing New Life into Your Child’s Old Bedrooms
When the oldest of Shelley Arenson’s three children stopped living at home during summer college breaks, the East Lyme resident kept the bed in his room for occasional visits, but eventually repurposed the rest of the unused space.
“It became a sewing room about two or three years ago,” she said.
A longtime enthusiast of the hobby, Arenson grew up sewing and still does, making clothes, quilts and doing occasional side jobs for friends and acquaintances. Having a dedicated space in which to work she said has made it more convenient.
