In my dining room. I took the table out and put it in the basement since we don't use it that often. I have my cutting area on one side and my sewing area the other. You have to walk through our DR to get to the rest of the house so I had to keep an open walk way. I have a set of cubes (9) from BJ's next to my cutting table and this is where I store some fabric, books/mags and other sewing stuff. It works for us - he has the spare room as his office and we decided this was the right set up for us.
