Wow, a quilter's dream! You are one lucky lady. I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment, but it has a generous sized bedroom. So my quilting area is part of that. I have room for my cutting table and sewing table all in one. I have had a hollow door from Home Depot on top of an old computer desk with the top missing, and it is totally awesome. I have the largest cutting mat there is and have had that set up for about 6 years. I really like it a lot.
