My 'studio' is now upstairs in the huge landing area at the top of the stairs. My 2 college age daughters still each have their bedrooms on either side. We live in an old (over 100 years) farmhouse that lacks plenty in the way of storage and character. Until a year ago, I sewed in my dining room. Now...I sew in my 'sewing' room...iron in one of my daughter's rooms and cut downstairs in my kitchen on my butcher block island. And...I really hate all that climbing up and down the stairs. I share my 'sewing' room with a sofa, TV, and seldom-used exercise bike. I have dreams of what my sewing room will be like if, and when, we decide to build a new house. LOL
