I too am planning a sewing room and have read with interest your many comments. I already have a hobby table 36"X36"x59" that folds down to 13"x 36" or I can use half of it. I got mine on sale years ago @ Hancock Fabrics but I saw them @ Joann Fabric also. I have a wonderful 36'X59"cutting mat that fits the table. The height is great for cutting out and working on projects. (I have also used it for a buffet table since it is on rollers)
I am a visual person and like to see and enjoy my fabrics. I have them in boxes but to compare color combinations etc. is not always easy.
I came across some shelving units (Billy Bookcase) on Ikea.com that come with combinations of glass and wood doors. I am thinking about these units because I could see my fabrics and hide accessories. In the future as I could add more units and also move them.
What do you think
