Swivel chair, I sit in a little U shaped section. Machine, and to the left of that Ironing cloth, and to the left of that a small cutting mat. And Yes TV to keep me company. . My machine is on one of those old metal tables where the leafs drop down. so behind it I bring up the leaf and put a 24x36 cutting mat works great. where the small cutting mat is I found at Goodwill (thank The Lord for that store) a childs head board that has shelves in it. Cut the legs off so it sits right behind the sm. cutting mat. its just deep enough for fat quarters. It was PERFECT I had been looking for awhile so imagine how excited I was when I found it. If I have pictures I'll send them. Good Luck
