Your room is wonderful; your machines are wonderful. Your organization is amazing!

Would you share the height, width, and length dimensions of this room, and share photos of the other wall?

I have a 12'x12' room, 8' ceilings. It may be two-three inches short of 12'x12.

North wall has an almost-centered windows.
East wall has an almost centered window.
South wall is solid wall.
West wall has entry door and two closest filling the entire space.

The door run right to the corners of this west wall there could be no shelf wrap-around on this wall.

I have a 38"x54" wide antique chest of drawers, a 48"x71" old buffet /hutch, a 30" flimsy storage cabinet, and two vintage machine cabinets in the room. It's disjointed, cluttered, and not pretty.

I stood in there this morning and asked it why it is not functioning as well as yours. As of yet, no answer.

I do wish I could do something like that in my actual sewing room, but I've got the half wall/sloped ceiling thing. I have to be careful which machines I put against the wall - as those with full size "flaps" will hit the ceiling when opened. I can only use those that have two flaps that meet when closed.

Such a wonderful well thought out work space you will enjoy for a long time to come. Thank you for sharing and I so love the lighting, I plan to try doing some of that in my space.

I could tell from the name of the thread that you had a Tap-A-Keg hidden around there somewhere. (Empty nesters bedroom renovation is FINIFHED!!!)

My kind of sewing room!

Your signature confirmed it as well....
