    I had my featherweight table remodified to seat my Janome.
    I had a shelf made to go where that honking big TV was so that gave me a lot of room for tools and threads and bits.

    I put a pull down shade above the steps going up to the bedroom with glued on flannel on it for a working wall.
    I used the cutting board that goes over the sink for a place to put my cutting mat.

    It is all doable, depends on how flexible you are willing to be. Best wishes!
    What fantastic tips, Kalamaquilts! Thank you so much.

    And thanks to all who have posted on this thread. Good info!

Set the DH’s cot and all of the cooking gear outside under a lean-to, and you’d have a fair-sized quilting area....

    Just a thought.

    I especially like that part about setting the DH's cot outside, CD. LOL
