And another thing - about that carpet. In a sewing room you may prefer the laminate flooring if you have to move your chair from one sewing station to another. I have three machines (sewing, serging, and embroidery) and I have to get up and pull my chair between them, as we installed wall-to-wall throughout the house about ten years ago. Hate it. Also easier to clean up tiny scraps, thread ends, etc. when the flooring is laminate. Just saying...
