While I store my sewing cabinet against the wall, when am sewing/quilting I pull it out at 90 degrees. Actually it usually just stays in this position unless I have guests who aren't quilters. If I sew/quilt a large project I put an adjustable height table at the back of my cabinet so the project doesn't drag or weigh down what I am working on.
I like my cutting area so that I can access on all sides when in use.
I like my ironing board in another room so I have to get up and walk occasionally.
I also have my HQ in my studio so there isn't room for all I want in one room.
