JanTX, I can definitely sympathize with you, as my sewing room is also the dining room. I am impressed at how organized your bookshelf is and how much it holds. Of course, I do not have nearly that much fabric, but I have 1 corner of my dining room. It has my sewing table, a desk, and another table that I use to cut and press, and then put my Viking on it when quilting. Under my desk is a bunch of storage bins with my fabrics and such. My desk shares my computer, my radio, and my embroidery machine. I think we just need to get rid of the actual dining room furniture (or let me use it for quilting storage lol).
