Thank's for sharing; I'm so right in there with you! Been racking my brain where the best area of my house is for "my" area. Sewing in basement is out; it's prone to flooding. Upstairs, I can't bring myself to take over college age kids rooms as they come home a lot. Our dining room is the logical spot too. Like being close to the landline ph., good natural lighting from windows, and can see when someone drives onto the yard. Will try to get it set up neatly and share with you too.
