One of the reasons I liked this house we bought about 10 years ago is that it had a "bonus" room on the third level. I think the previous owner used it as an office. It is a perect sewing room. It had hardwood floors, easy to sweep, lots of light and a view of the water. The room is approx. 15' by 13'. I have 3 cabinets 4' by 6' tall, plus lots of built in shelves. My favorite purchase was a sewing machine cabinet and cutting table from Koala. There is no closet in the room, so I know it was not meant to be a bedroom (besides we have 4 of those). We are retired but have a lot of company since we live in a coastal area. My room still gets to be a mess at times when I am sewing a lot and sometimes some of it will migrate downstairs. But since the room is upstairs, no one has to look at it including my DH. One of my granddaughters is coming down this summer and we will go thru the magazines, books, and patterns to organize or donate. I am getting overwelmed by my collection of books, etc.
