My sewing room was a spare bedroom - it had more light that the front bedroom, so at first I moved out the bed and made it a full fledged sewing room. Then a friend of mine had a murphy bed installed it solved everything. One of the old 'Simply Quilts" shows was about was about sewing rooms that can fold up quickly for a spare room. It was quite a show and the lady's desk was really great the way was she moved things around and it all went into the closet. I found the murphy bed made the most sense for me.
