My husband used to complain about the sewing stuff but then he realized he was good at fixing vintage machines- any sewing machine really. My space has become ours. Depending on who is doing what we may not want the other one there at the moment. He's the buyer- He ran into someone selling rolls of upholstery fabric and filled the back of the van- I have no idea what I'll do with it- it all has that rubber backing like for waiting areas. Can't say we don't have friction at times but it's a life long achievment
