Perfect use of the doors. Not everyone has a fancy studio, me included. I share the space of a spare bedroom with my husband. I have one wall and the closet. He has the other two walls. The walls of the entire room are covered in his deer mounts. On one side is his gun cabinet, the other, his fly tying bench. My so-called sewing table is a formica covered kitchen table from the 1950's that belonged to my parents. It works and I am sentimentally attached to it. On one side of the table, my husband cobbled up a tall cutting bench of sorts for me, complete with a drawer. It's a very funky room to say the least.

Excellent use of a door. This is something I can handle on a do it yourself kind of project. Thanks for the suggestion. Now to find a door!

Great ideas!
Never thought of cutting a hole in a table and creating a shelf for the machine.
My table is an old folding cafeteria style with a very rough top. I put some nalgahyde over the top to make it smooth. Floor tiles is a really good idea!

Hope you continue to share your ideas and quilts.

My husband helped me with a sheet of plywood to make a table for my machine. My shoulders feel so much better. Use what you have, recycle what you can.

I love what you have done with your two doors and two machines. The tile is an excellent idea. You made yourself two great sewing/cutting etc. areas to work on. I'm sure your arms/shoulders will feel much better sewing now! Great job!
