She added a HUGE sewing room onto the back of the house. She has a sewing station for each of her 7 machines, book/display shelves for quilt books and antique sewing machines, tons of windows for natural light plus French doors leading out to a covered deck, air conditioning in addition to the remote controlled ceiling fans (it gets way hot here in the summer), pot lights installed in the 12 ft. ceiling over each station (with the ability to have individual, plug in lights on the sewing surfaces), an ironing station (not just an ironing board), a cutting station (an 8 ft. table affixed with cutting mats), outlets galore (even in the floor), she is "vertically challenged" (read: short, LOL), so she has a rather large area in the middle of all this as her design floor instead of design wall, and a separate room, not closet, a room, for just her stash and thread. This stash room has to be 25 feet long and it's easily 10 feet deep, with shelves and shelves of fabric set up in the same fashion as a library. She's been collecting since she was a girl...she just turned 76 last month. The only thing that she DOESN'T have, is a longarm. If I could have the perfect sewing room, I'd have that one, with additional space for my LA. We're sewing there again on Saturday, I'll try to remember to take my camera along and get some pics to share.
