I also live in WI, Almond. I am currently trying to move my sewing room to another area of our house. I have a extra bedroom that is my sewing room, but I never sew in there. Instead I sew at the dinning room table, where I can look out into our back yard, and see wildlife and day light. Plus that location allows me to multi task. One option I have is to move downstairs to the bedroom down there, but I am afraid I will not use it.
I am envious of people that have a nice sewing area, mine just isn't large enough for all my stuff. I would love to have a sewing studio. Maybe I could just turn the dinning area into my sewing area. LOL
Even though I sew at the dining room table, it is not messy. But it sure would be nice to have everything in one area, where you wouldn't have to put things away all the time.
Good luck with your room, it will be fine, good suggestions from everyone.
