The addition enlarged the kitchen, so we 'ate' in it, and the old dining room was used to whelp litters of pups. Then the accident, my life as a breeder is no more, and my dearest husband turned what used to be a dining room to a sewing room. The whole room. I sewed my first project in the room today, a sewing machine cover.
LOL! I expect most of us have moved our sewing area several times for different reasons! One friend has moved hers upstairs and then downstairs several times! She has a beautiful "bonus room" up there, but now her health prevents her from climbing the stairs! :cry:
For us, there was a sun room on the back of the house which served as a dining room, just off the kitchen. That is still our every-day eating room, but the "den" will soon become our formal dining room. I'm dizzy, trying to figure out all this!! It's something like Trading Spaces!
