                Yes, Drew! I take it you know this lady? She has a lovely studio but that is partly because she can be OUTSIDE while she is inside! In the Houston humidity that is a PLUS, PLUS, PLUS! :wink:

                    Ooh, I love the concept of the sawhorses drewfield! It would be awesome to be able to set up and take down depending on the project at hand and what is needed. In my room I have actual furniture and shelving units. Of course my room is temporary until my dd moves out. I am taking her room. First childs room is the smaller one with the smaller closet. But hers...ooh-la-la!! But that carpet sure gets in the way too. Hardwood floors would sure make clean up much easier.

                      Yes, I agree Sharon, carpet is not the most ideal flooring for a sewing studio. I priced Pergo for my Studio and (14x15) and it would cost about 1000 to 1200 if I did the work myself, so its going to have to wait awhile..a long while actually I really want to MOVE out of Tennessee and hopefully my next house will already have the floors I want.

                        I have carpet in my sewing room. I chose it instead of a hard floor for the comfort.

                          This is very interesting about types of floor covering for a sewing studio. My sunroom/sewing room has hard concrete floors, but I would love to carpet the area, eventually. The rest of the house, except for bedrooms, is terrazzo flooring from the 50's, so my legs ache enough by days end. I worry about pins and bare feet (I'm always barefoot) ops: in carpet, but I guess the solution would be a low nap carpet like Judy suggested. For the time being, I'm stuck with the concrete though because we have a geriatric cat that sometimes misses the litter box in the corner of the room!

                            Gosh, just when I thought I had a great idea of seeing sewing rooms and making a request....my wish was answered! How fun to scroll through and read everybody's input and seeing photos. I would really like to see a sewing room gallery addition to the site. I was fortunate and just recently renovated the whole top floor area of my home.....wasn't fortunate enough to win the lottery. Before laying down flooring I took a vote from all my quilting friends. We went with laminate and in the office area is carpet. Laminate has been so easy to keep clean with a quick dust mop. My chair rolls smoothly back and forth between all areas. I am writing to tell you that my husband surprised me with an awesome table from IKEA. It is the perfect height for cutting and has 12 chores underneath for storage. When I had the room renovated I made sure to have the electrician put in plenty of electrical outlets....I think 12 in the one area alone and he heard me when I said I need light and so he installed lighting giving me the ability to turn on yet another set of flourescents. I even managed to get a 10 x 12 closet to store fabric. I did not opt for a window in this closet and it is climate controlled. I'd love to post photos but at this time it is still new and sparce. I haven't hung much on the walls yet. Perhaps if the site will start a quilt room gallery I can post photos one day.

                              DrewField, Where is the image button? I don't see it. I love seeing and hearing about all of the sewing rooms out there. I'm also lucky to have my own room for quilting and will figure out how to post the pictures. My question is what are people using to creat design walls. I have an area that is about 6 1/2 ft wide by a 9 ft ceiling. Right now I have a piece fabric with a 2" grid that is 40 inches wide by about 4 ft. long. I have it pinned to the wall and it's not sturdy enough to hold blocks without pinning them on. :?:

                                Az, My DH & I went to Menard's & we purchased SoundBoard(sound Proofing), it is in the drywall section and it is more pin friendly than drywall. When we got it home, he used 2x4 leftovers from jobs around the farm and framed the back, I put a layer of batting on the front, then covered it with white flannel, bringing the flannel around to the back and stapling it down. I just have mine leaning against the wall, but you could easily anchor it with L brackets
