Paint the plywood in a favorite quilt pattern. My floor is white with dk green. Easy to wash and see pins. Holding up great.

I have the carpet and even a throw rug on my other room, I like having chairs with rollers but only because its easier getting out from the sewing table. I get up and go to the ironing board, etc when I need anything. For one thing it gives me a chance to stretch my muscles. I'll take carpet any day, so much easier to vacuum and warmer on my feet as well.

To help find pins in carpet, use glow in the dark pins.

I have carpet in mine and love it. I have one roller mat at my desk, just to scoot out and away, then I get up and go to what ever I need. My room is really small so it would be easy to just roll to everything but its my way of getting up so that I'm not sitting too long.

I also have carpet & use the plastic mat with the pokeys.... it's okay.... not great.... BUT.... I'm not willing to pull the carpet out as this room is "on paper" a 3rd bedroom should we ever decide to sell. Today I must have tripped over the edge of that plastic at least 3 times..... but I still think it's worth keeping the carpet for the warmth & for the resell value.
