my sewing room is half of our unfinished basement, it is warm, well lit and I have carpeting under my machine to keep my feet warm. I have a old crome kitchen table with large cutting mat to cover the whole table, I use a shelves with bins on one side of the wall for material color cooridinated. I have a dresser that holds all supplies. I have a larger Koala table for my primary sewing machine, If not using another sewing machine I have a small iron and mat next to me for pressing. I have ironing board set up next to cutting table. And if I really have to I can put in a load of wash while I am down there. I have a small refrigerator down there to keep refreshments and a telephone, small music system so I can hear my country music while I spend endless time sewing & quilting and having time creating.
