Well, I spent a lot of years dreaming of such a room. My husband wouldn't let me spend a lot of money on a sewing room. So after he passed away and I moved to a smaller house, I decided that my being happy was important too; plus it is an investment in upgrading the house. My son had a friend who did home renovations and had never done a sewing room before. I was thrilled that he listened to what I had to say and tried to fill my wishes. I think he did a great job. Storage was an all important feature for me. I didn't want to be looking at my stash all the time. It looks so nice when it is all cleaned up. The two tables can be rolled together if I need even more table space.
