My dream studio is 25 x 19 with shelving along the 25 length for fabric and room for all my books, magazines, boxes of kits etc. and my large cutting table, my sewing table with extension up, a tv and possibly a longarm. All this when my ship comes in. We can dream can't we.

How lucky you are-studio looks great. I noticed that your closets are 4 X 24. I have very deep shelved closets in my room as well but find that the shelves are really too deep to be as great as I had thought they would be. It is hard to access items in the back and mine are not as deep as yours. Enjoy your space!

A suggestion for that wonderful closet of yours ( I have one too), I covered each door with flannel so I have 6 mini design walls in addition to the large one behind my work station. This allows me to display works in progress and frees up the wall behind me for what I happen to be working on at the time. Have fun with your room

If you made the workstation movable (rollers?) and instead of an 8x8 make it two 4x8, it might give you more versatility. Also storage - 2' deep shelves/drawers on both sides. I can't reach anything 4' away - I'm vertically challenged - so a 4' wide table is about all I can work with.

WOW - when finished you will have an amazing sewing/quilting room. If only I had room for a long arm and that huge work table, but alas I do not, since we downsized to an apartment. Enjoy, Enjoy and happy sewing/quilting.

Wow! That definitely looks like a dream room. I agree with others on the outlet comments, put in plenty because it is cheaper when you're working with stud walls or floors and ceilings. DH has ceiling outlets in his workshop so he isn't tripping over cords coming from walls. That wall-o-closets is a nice touch. It seems there is never enough storage and the fact that you are allowing moving room for you is great.
I hope your dream happens for you soon. Can't wait to see pictures of the process and finished room!
