I'm with you Bella Boo, we live in our living room LOL and have my sewing on the dining room table. We go to the nearest resturant if there is more than three of us. My cutting table, ironing board, and cupboards are off the dining in the laundry room so everything is really handy. My DH had a carpenter come in and build the cupboards for me as he hated seeing all the tores sitting around with fabric in them.
