Well, I am very blessed because I just moved in January to a new (to me) house that has a casita (about 16 x21') which is my new quilting room. It has a small kitchen at one end with a sink, coffee maker, microwave, dorm refrigerator, etc., and a walk-in closet plus a full bath at the other end. There is a bay window that has a nice view of the neighborhood (where I put my sewing machine), but the window brings in a lot of sun, so we had a company come and install a window tint film that prevents damaging suns rays from entering but is not really noticeable, sort of like the window tint on cars. We took out the carpeting and installed wood flooring. I have a large design wall covered with flannel that has 2" grid lines on it, a huge cutting table with storage underneath, lots of kitchen cabinets plus two tall pantries, an L-shaped counter top, and my Big Board rests on top. I have a sleep sofa for comfortable seating and a place for my daughter to sleep when she visits (she's a quilter, too!). For an end table next to the sofa I got a wood 2-drawer lateral file cabinet to store patterns. In the closet my DH rigged up the hanging rod so that I can have a huge roll of batting spooling off of it, and I taped a paper tape measure on the wall next to it so that I can cut off exactly as much batting as I need. In that same closet I have tall shelving units filled with clear shoe boxes and storage totes to contain my UFOs and embroidery CDs. I have another shelving unit that holds my rubber stamp collection. My inks and paper for card-making are in some of the kitchen cabinets in the room. On the back of the closet door I put up a bunch of the Command strip hooks and hung all my quilting stencils grouped by size so they are easily visible. back in the main room, one tall pantry holds all my quilting books. I have to thank everyone on the board who has ever written in under the Organization thread. In the months before we actually moved into our new house I read every post about organization, and drooled over every photo posted. I got many great ideas, so thanks everyone!
