I just got my dream space last year. It's in the basement, but it's big, has lots of recessed lights, a painted floor (easy to Swiffer!), and has a lot of storage. After I set up my machine and got a large design wall set up (2 4x8 foam sheets with batting over them), I unexpectedly got a sit-down machine for quilting. My space is maxed out now. I wish it was bigger, but that's being very ungrateful.
