I too took over two bedrooms and knocked down the common wall. When the contractor took down the wall, he added plugs to other walls so I would have enough electricity where ever needed. I already had put up shelving on one wall for storage. I still have a queen size bed that I would like to get rid of but it did not sell and my kids keep coming back to visit. If the bed was gone, I would put up a permanent design wall and arrange my vintage machines so I could sew on them whenever I wanted. Currently I am organizing my fabric into dressers so I can use my linen closet for linens and am making an ironing station out of a small dresser I bought at IKEA for $39.00! Enjoy and relax. You have a wonderful opportunity.
