I too have encroached into the guest room. Several years ago my husband remodeled the GR to accommodate my Bailey to sit in a table. We took out the bed and now are thinking of putting one back in since the Grand kids sleep over several times a month. As for keeping both rooms clean, I can not abide a messy work room. I will mess it up while sewing but at the end of the day I pick up things off the floor and tidy up the cutting table. After a project is done I clean and vacuum for the next project.
