I am lucky... this house has four bedrooms in the upstairs part of the house. That part mirrors itself front to back. One small bedroom and one bigger bedroom across the hall from two identical sized rooms. So I'll still have two extra bedrooms even after I steal Erin's room from her!! Of course Hubby and I get the other big bedroom!
Skeat, Thanks for that info on the ergonomics. I have the perfect cutting table. Stealing my island from the kitchen (new one to be built in during the winter) makes perfect sense to me!! I use it all the time and I love the height.
Sewing table is more of an issue and since I am installing a 6' length of laminate countertop, I do have the option of making it the eprfect height for me. I have an adjustable chair and I am thinking, feed dogs at 28" will work for me. Hope I'm right!
