    I too live alone and can put my stuff anywhere I want to. Computer and fabrics stored in second bedroom, fabrics in large totes in the garage. Sewing machine in the livingroom, cutting area on the dining room table. yea I'm kinda spread-out.

    Same thing with me!

    My (roughly 12'x12') orange room has all of the following in it; two corner desks with computers, an old computer desk that is currently my sewing desk (my machine is out 365 days a year), a 36"x60" kitchen table that is only used for cutting, and a 3' open shelving unit that has nursing books and part of my stash that has spilled out into it from my 6' cabinet. The cabinet is in the tv room, next to the small shelving unit.

    So, my ironing board does not fit. I've got that set up so I can watch tv while ironing. That gives me a chance to stretch my legs a smidge periodically during a project.

    Well..... I have one treadle in the living room. I have two treadles and two electrics in cabs in the dining room. I have a treadle, two electrics in cabs, and six portables in the sewing room, and a mid-arm in the bedroom.

    If I can convince him to get rid of his recliner and entertainment center, I could fit a lot more into the living room!! :lol:
