Give yourself time and eventually you'll have that "spare" room. For years I did all my sewing on "the" table in our trailer--everything had to be cleared off for meals. When we moved into a house I claimed a small area of the family room. My sewing desk was a huge executive desk bought from army base salvage. From there I went to a tiny space under the stairs--I put up outdoor pictures to combat the tiny closed in space, but I liked having everything together and being able to "hide" for a bit from the crowd (6 kids). I suppose I have morphed through 4/5 rooms and places before my own large room for sewing became reality (which was after my husband died.) I decided I could sleep in a small room and sew in a big room and it would work just fine. So, keep wishing and hoping and it will all work out eventually :>).
