Looks great. I don't have a design wall yet either. I'm not sure what to do for it. Isn't it great to have a space!!! Mine is half the family room which I like then I am not isolated upstairs by myself, the computers are in here and a fire place and couch and my quilt hanger - the treadmill!!!

The thing I like best is that I actually, finally have a room for sewing, not just a nook somewhere. The thing I like the least is that my storage is not very efficient. FQ's and novelty prints are in stacking plastic drawers and are hard to get into. Yardage is in a big basket/chest. So I'm still working on that. I don't have a design wall. I just lay things out on a bed or the floor.

Like: the room I have now to move around in
Dislike: the lighting

I'm still working out where I want to keep things. I have a 9 foot banquet table where I cut, pin, etc. but it's in the middle of the room and it's awkward moving around it. I need a smaller table, but I really would like a cutting table like Cathe's. It's still in design stage in my head but I'd like to work on it so I can use it. :)

Your sewing room looks so neat and has plenty of light.

My sewing room is not big enough (a big barn might be) :oops: I've just about got everything where it needs to be but then I start a new project and stuff ends up everywhere....

After a lifetime of sewing in multi-purpose spaces, I finally got my own dedicated space for me to use exclusively for sewing. I designed and built all of the furniture and fittings, exactly to the height and size I wanted and it is everything I had dreamed. Is it big enough, of course not. You always wish for more space to expand into other areas of endeavor. But I have been so much more productive what with not having to put things away after each session of sewing, and then haul everything out, to start again. I was able to do it without my own space, but I do it so much more enjoyably now that I finally have my own space for doing it.

John! You could design sewing rooms for quilters!! I'd be happy to let you practice on my space. :D

I love having a little space to myself--but it's small--crowded, but cozy. It's right off the kitchen, so I use the kitchen table to cut and fold fabric from the wash. Projects done except for hand sewing bindings go over a chair in the library...

Once a child is permanantly out of the house, I could move upstairs--one room even ahs a porch! but I think it'd be too lonely. And we have no idea what we'd do with the sewing room now.

Your room is very nice. I love the window that you have to the right of your sewing machine. If you are like me, sometimes you take a break and look at the view. Like you I have a lot of stuff in a small space.
I too have an issue finding what fabric I want to use. I am wanting to take 1 X 12's and sand and paint them to contrast with the color of my room and use "L" Brackes to mount them just low enough from the ceeling to stand my bolts of fabric on. I still have not come up with a plan for FQ's and fabric not on the bolt.

Here's what I like best about my sewing room. The drafting table. (I am so bad! I have shared this about 3 times now, but I am just so proud to have it - plus it was free!)

I am so tempted to paint the room aqua, but that means getting everything out first. No thanks.

As for the design wall, you can see mine in the background. I went to Home Depot and bought a sheet of foam board - on the drywall aisle. It is an insulating material for walls, but I sprayed it with adhesive then smoothed diaper flannel on it. It so light, and everything sticks to the flannel. The total cost was about $25.
