My cabinet's right side is against the wall in my kitchen. The back of the sewing cabinet (furthest from me ) is against a side-board/credenza like piece of furniture. My power strip & USB chargers sit there, as well as my sewing lamp which has a clamp on it & sits on this side board. When FMQ I often use this clamp to hold up a part of the quilt. I have a tv behind me - which I often 'listen' to shows/movies while sewing.
In my future sewing room (when DS moves out) has a large window overlooking our driveway/back yard area. I plan to put my machine next to this window so I'll finally have a view while sewing. =)
My DREAM sewing room has a lots of windows with fabulous views of the mountains....maybe one day!
