No, I have not had the joy of planning an addition, especially for a sewing room.
However ... the secret to your success will be to plan, plan, plan ... and plan some more!
Then when you think you have it ... plan more again!
Take your time ... and do it right, so you don't have your druthers later.
The thing is, what is right for one person, is not necessarily right for you and your life.
What I have done when doing major renos (next thing to a total new build) ...
I start with the dream listing along with a file folder where I put brochures, magazine pics etc. with no true decisions made. Just possibilities that are in the running. You can chuck the no-goes, later!
When you are ready to move forward, get out the graph paper and start drawing out what you want. Check the measurements and space needed with what you already have and what works ... or know what needs to change.
As you get closer ... start mentally living in your new room.
What I mean is that everything you do, you mentally think you are in your new room, and where it is or where it will be put as you put it away. Before long, you will start to find what's not going to work. Or what is missing in your new plans.
That's when you start re-planning.
... and keep doing again and again and again ... til you have it right!
Repeat .... as many times as is necessary!!!
Enjoy planning your dream room!
