I live in a 100-year old house where all the rooms open into each other. I sew in a room between the two most popular rooms in the house...the TV room and the kitchen! But I like being close to both rooms and DH is usually in one or the other of those rooms! He'll be moving his hobby stuff out soon so I can have the whole room for sewing. (He has a whole building to himself, but I'm not jealous, not much anyway.)
I'm trying to use vintage furniture but will soon have some shelves built in and I have a nice-size closet. My machine is on an Ikea desk in a corner and I cut on a vintage table set up on bed risers....but I'm hoping to replace them and make a big investment soon...the table in the pic below. It can function as both sewing and cutting table. I think I'll like the height.
