Several years ago, I had a small closet that wasn't in use. I bought two 3 drawer metal cabinets from K Mart and put a board across the top. That made my sewing desk for my sewing machine. Then I put peg board up in front of the desk ( which was the back of the closet) ,and on the sides for hanging "stuff". I really can't remember what stuff I had, but it was handy to have the peg board. I didn't have a lot of fabric, but what I had I put on the shelf above the pegboard. For cutting I would use my kitchen table. I used the filing cabinets for storing thread, patterns ribbons, etc. Presently I still don't have a "sewing" room, just use my bedroom. And for my cutting table I have a hollow door that we had used for a room divider which is sitting on two saw horses. Guess I'm just cheap. Oh, I do now have a design wall. I like saying that, sounds so artsy. It's an old flannel backed table cloth that had it's day. Anyway, everything serves me well.
