Busted! Yes, I did clean up for the photos but there actually is a quilt in progress on top of the cutting area (3rd photo).

A few people have inquired about the basket storage in my room. Here is the information:
I bought them at the Container Store. They are made by Elfa. http://www.containerstore.com/shop/elfa/components
IKEA sells something similar. The basket system consists of 4 units with melamine tops and that makes my cutting board which is approximately 35x42.
I haven't been at this all that long so the baskets, so far, do a pretty good job of holding my stash.

Love your room. Now for my question...what kind of table is that for your sewing machine and do you like it? I need to get something better suited height-wise (I'm using a desk and the machine sits too high).

The Sew Easy Table seems to be very well liked. http://www.seweziusa.com/
And there is the Gidget Table - there are two versions of that and I'm not totally sure what the differences are.

I totally agree that having the machine sunk into the table makes a huge difference. I do like the table, but please note the tables behind and to the side - they are really needed when quilting to support the quilt. The table alone is too narrow for FMQ and this seems to be true of all these tables. I bought the supplemental tables at IKEA.
