I've always believed that one should use their home to it's best advantage. My sewing room is in the living room and my living room is in the dinning room. The spare bedroom holds the overload because there is no basement and my dinning furniture is in the kitchen not too far from the laundry so it's handy for folding clothes. I like my arrangement because I'm right in the middle of life in my household so friends, family and neighbors can visit me frequently! I also think fabric looks as nice behind glass as beautiful dinnerware. LOL!
