I would plan a design wall big enough for a king size quilt to be laid out on :mrgreen: a smaller one to use for inbetween projects... (Hey it's my dream :wink)
LOTS of storage, and good sized cutting and ironing stations... a nice BIG sewing table too!!!
I think layouts are personal... I like to sew and then get up and move to press my pieces. I need to move around every little while, others want to be able to swivel their chair to do this. I would like a small area next to my machine for a mini pressing station for when I paper piece, though.
By the way...besides the beautiful mountain views you have, I think your city is beautiful too!!! I loved driving through downtown, and at Christmas that year it was spectacular!!! :D:D:D
