You've all been a big help. I suggested to DH that we get beds with drawers under them. I'm thinking of a little corner hutch for more storage in the guest room. I'd love to splurge and get a vanishing design wall when the time comes. Already have two featherweights so one can go and one can stay. My retirement gift for myself will probably be a sewing machine with a bigger throat - hopefully there will be more options for these in four years.
It seems silly but I really don't want what I have now which is a very cluttered sewing room. I'd like a tranquil space where everything can be tucked away out of sight. Maybe that's because it's much smaller than what we are used to.
Quilt shops are nearby so I won't have to collect a lot of stash. Hard habit to break, I'm afraid.
Any more ideas? Keep them coming!
