I love wood floors, and have them all through my house except for tile in the bathrooms and kitchen, and carpet in my sewing room. I sit in a chair on wheels when I sew, and I move around the room a lot on that chair. My sewing area in our FL house had wood floors, and they were just really marred up by the wheels on my chair. In the MI house I keep a waste basket right by my knee while sewing and use is constantly. I also keep my Dyson in a closet in the sewing room and almost always run it over the carpet when I am done sewing. Keeps the room nice and neat and makes me happy!
