My DH put box-store kitchen cabinets (upper and lower) and counter-tops on 2 walls for me in an L-shape. Thew cabinets hold my stash. I can use my computer and TV on one counter, and on the other counter I have my big board and iron. (Be sure to put in lots of outlets!) I also took the doors off the closet and installed 2 big bookcases to hold boxes of thread, patterns, embroidery software, Best Press and starch, etc. Although I have a ton of stuff in the room, because of the cabinets and shelves it looks reasonably neat. The other thing you could try is a Murphy bed. We put one in my husband's office so it could double as a guest room. The new ones look lovely...just like furniture. Good luck!
