I will be 77 years old next week. My sewing room is one the third floor of the house. I probably go up and down 30 flights of stairs a day. The master bedroom is also on this level. The main living area is on the second level-kitchen, living area, laundry and bathroom that has the shower. The lower area is a garage and an apartment that is rented out. Would I prefer it to be different? Yes, in a minute. I share this upper level sewing area with my husband and his model railroad. I have to be careful to keep things organized but it works.
