Can you steal even a corner somewhere, and put in a piece of furniture/storage to make it feel like a dedicated space?

I love these, but could never justify one:  https://www.exmoorfurniture.co.uk/quilting-cupboards/

It looks lovely!  I won't scare you all with the mess that my sewing room is in at the moment, it's become a bit of a dumping ground!

Oooh, that's tidy!! Mine looks like an explosion in a rag factory.
So many beers, so little time.

That looks wonderful.  I need to do something with my sewing room, as its in a right state, well in a state that I don't like.
 I am fully aware that I border on obsessive, so messy for me is probably ok for most.  For whatever reason, when I do any embroidery or quilting, it seems to encourage me to leave things littered all over the place.  I have two outfits cut out, and I need to get them made up, so I can start the next thing.  I also need to get the embroidery maching going, so I can make up some xmas gifts.  Busy Busy!

Glad you all liked looking, sorry we can't all visit and share a cuppa and a biscuit.
I do like being able to out things away when I want to - but finding what works in my space has been a bit trial and error since we've been here. I have less sewing machines now so that I have more room for other things for example.
