I emptied and repainted and rearranged my 10 x 12 space. It feels more open but still needs shelves above my computer space. When that is done I will move the stuff on the shelves in my bedroom and only the long arm will be in my bedroom. My lighting is still a problem. I would love can lights in ceiling but will have to wait for some extra $$(we are going on vaca next week, must have priorities) as we are not handy and I don't want the house to burn down. :D Would also like laminate floors next year. Would you believe, with all of this I still do my cutting on the dining room table! For me it is the correct height, it is large a barely ever used. I just keep my big mats on the table under the table cloth!
This is design wall (magnetic white board behind door to room) and hubbie's computer desk. One of the storage closets are his.

the storage on the left is mine. I made the desks out of MDF with PVC legs.

This is my computer area with sewing desk just behind so I just turn my chair.

This sewing desk top opens to the back. It was a dark brown when I got it off craigs list. Husband says shabby chic paint job "needs another coat since I missed some spots". What does he know, all his taste is in his mouth.

behind the closet door is some over flow and food storage. It is a mess, but I thought I would show it so you don't think I am perfect. LOL

unfortunately long arm has to go in bedroom with shelves that will get emptied on to new shelves above computer desk.

garage overflow. Just couldn't see cluttering up the room with stuff I hardly use.

Last but not least, behind the skirt. I drew a computer holder with specs and gave it to dad and he made that nice thing that my printer, scanner and tower is on. It has wheels that you cannot see because of the carpet.

Very nice. How far back from the edge of the desk did you put your machine? I would like to do the same, but not sure how far back, and your insert is wonderful. Makes me less scared to cut a hole in the desk I have my machine on. I would also like to put a lift-up table in the back.

This is a sewing desk the hole was already there. the part under the sewing machine and the drawer to the right are fake to make room for the machine and cords. It is about 4 inches back though.

Thank you. I just bought a desk, that has a drawer to the right and 3 drawers on the left. I thought I could just cut a hole in the top above the right drawer and set the machine into the drawer. I just didn't know how far back to make it. I hope it works like I want it to.
