When we built our house, I had planned to have a sewing room/study in our basement! Since then I have had several knee and foot problems, and the idea went by the wayside. I did not want to do all the stairs several times a day; so now I kicked the bed and dresser out of a bedroom and am turning it into a sewing room. My problem is my room although 12 x 12 doesn't seem big enough for my sewing things and office needs. I keep rearraning, and will eventually find the way I am content.
