I use a large folding table 30" x 60" with a formica top, covered with batting and light weight canvas cloth, for an ironing surface for my quilting. Lots of room.
Gal + jars from Sams (pretzels etc) for keeping my 1" cut selvages for future use and also one for scraps, by my cutting table.
The cutting table is a tripple dresser (garage sale) that is the right height for the cutting table, with 3/4" ply or OMC board cut the length of the dresser & cut about 1 foot deeper so that it holds a bolt of material across it. I place my cutting matts on top and have lots of room for cutting out my projects.
