Congratulations! What a lovely sewing room!!!

I'm curious as to the height of your sewing table and what that surface is that you're using. I'm trying to make the most of my small sewing room/office and was considering a similar table set up. Thanks.

Enjoy your new space!

The table top is about 34 years old and was a long desk in my dad's office. I actually had to cut a long section off to fit it into this space (9 1/2 feet). It's a good quality laminate and I have it at 30" high. It's great for sewing.. not so good for cutting.. at that height. And it's 36" deep.
He probably got it or had it made at a store like Home Depot or Lowe's as it looks like an over sized counter top without the back splash.. just a lip at the front.
I measured 29" from the floor and screwed 2x4s on all 3 walls making sure to hit the studs. The file cabinet in the middle gives it extra support and holds patterns, receipts etc.
My old sewing area was a closet without the doors and a table made the same way, but with a solid slab door( no hole for doorknob) :roll: :-)
Good luck with your office project. I wish I could come and help.

That is terrific! What a wonderful Son-in-law to help out so much. He deserves the first quilt that you make there. Have fun in your "new" room.

Thanks Dona,

I appreciate you answering my questions so quickly. I wish I could use a table that height, but it is too uncomfortable for me, too tall. I've yet to find any suitable type of furniture to put under a 26-28" table. Have a great time sewing on yours!

Happy Thanksgiving!
