Push the sewing machine on its "typewriter table" into the corner in front of the linen closet. I'm slowly de-stashing. So far, so good, had 4 shelves of stash and now have 2 plus some in a plastic tote can. I do lots of searching when I'm ready to make something. I do most of my cutting in the Living Room (I don't watch TV) I listen to Easy Living music. My bed is a display ???table??? where I lay out a pattern, I've just drawn or when I lay out blocks getting ready to make a top out of blocks found in my stash. Then there is the entry way between the kitchen and a coat closet (thats where I keep my ironing board and iron).
When I iron, I pull it out of the coat closet, set it up in the entry way where I need to skirt around it to get into the kitchen, the coat closet and go out the door. I decided just today to get a portable ironing board as it will fit over the vanity in the bathroom.

Oh, by the way, I use my office desk which is for the computer in the Living Room for a sewing chair. When the sewing machine and the chair are both in use in the bathroom, to get to the toilet, I have to move both. I just pray it is not an emergency.

So don't cry over your quilting clutter, mine is worse.
