I llove hearing about the rooms. I started out in a small 6x10 room , then when kisd left for good we changed one of the bedrooms into a sewing room. After several years and more machines but DH declared the room was too small, so now we are in the process of adding on to our house so I will have a 30x14 room. It should be done in about 6 weeks. And yes, he is a sweetheart BUT I will mention he is also getting a new shop! Hey, whatever works!

I had a beautiful sewing room in the last house we lived in. We moved in Nov and bought a very old historical house which we are rehabbing. Our living room is filled with drywall, studs, a table saw, and a table full of tools, so we are using a large bedroom as a "tv room" until the living room gets done. Then the "tv room" will become my sewing room. For now, I have my sewing machine set up in a corner with tv trays set up around it to hold projects and fabric and supplies. Everything else is packed away in the basement! Hubby says the living room will be done by the end of April so I hope I get a sewing room soon!!!

How do you have your sewing rooms set up to accomodate the most usage of a small space, send me pictures if you can.
I am so tempted to take the bed out but have no where to store it, once my daughter graduates college and moves out I can take over her room as the sewing room but that will be 1-2 years.

When our DD left for college her room became my sewing room.... DH left for a week on a fishing trip - I gutted the room, painted and called my DS to come help me install counter tops!
I started getting an itch to move my sewing room... DH is fine with it. So I am developing a plan on my computer. We will move the sewing room to the a spare room in the basement - move our bedroom to the sewing room - move the guest room to our bedroom and make the guest room into a toy room for our Grandchildren. You problably all think I'm nuts but everything will get a good cleaning and re-organization!
The whole move starts with new flooring in the sewing room to be... So for now I have been surfing the web looking a great sewing rooms and furniture.
I'm tired just thinking about it!

Last September my DD moved out and I've slowly been moving things into that room also. I do still have a bed in there for company.

When you were talking about tables on your other thread, I sent you a pic of my tables that hubby built for me....
here are a few other pics of the shelving and thread saver he has made also.
Understand room doesn't look like this too often..cleaned it up for pictures
I also put a folding door on the closet so as not to use up any room space when door is opened. In closet, I use sweater and shoe hanging shelves for fabric.
They really hold a lot..and one can purchase drawers for those shelves.
