My DH and I are just starting the exploration of building our dream retirement house and I am going to have a bedroom to use as my sewing/stitching room. Today, as we discussed some of the house plans in a book we are studying, we measure out one room that is 12 X 11 and decided that the Koala cabinet/cutting table I want would be a little big for this size room.
He then said, "Well, what do you want in this room and how big do you want it? We can tell a builder how big to make the room, but you need to know what you want." Is that carte blanche or what????
I need to be reasonable and a room a bit bigger than 12 X 11 would be a possibility, but I cannot get too carried away.
So, I am coming to the "experts" with my questions. I have a few ideas of must haves, but need some more ideas.
If you were designing your dream room, what is the one thing you cannot live without?
I will be using the closet for most of my storage and know that I will probably use a closet module for it. I want a couple of drawers for threads, notions, and small stitching items, and some drawers or bins for storing fabric. File drawers for charts and patterns, but I don't know what I want for storing miscellaneous items. I want some bookcases and shelves for displaying some of my collectibles.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
