For years as a Military wife I used graph paper, 1 square=1 foot. Cut out furniture or what ever had to go in space and then I could move it around until I figured a way to make it fit or what had to go. Now live in a little mobile home here in FL and twice the stuff that fits in here, along with dogs and puppy playpens. And DH has way to many of his toys of course, and I keep waiting for house to split at the seams. He he he. Oh well, maybe someday I will have more room for a sewing room, in the meantime I work to just find a place to put things so I know where they are.
Hope everyone has a Happy New years and had a great Christmas.
