How nice to have a dedicated work space where, perhaps, you can leave your sewing machine set up all the time, like in this cute blue and yellow space, below:
This next one, from American Home magazine (1966) looks fabulous! So much space, all adjacent to the laundry area?
Love it:
The amount of light coming in from this skylight window would help dramatically in the space below - but I happen to know from experience that those bentwood chairs are not all that comfortable.
They do LOOK nice, though:
All kinds of room!
And a nice chair on wheels, a cutting table, lots of storage, a cool ottoman, and a full-length mirror - I love it!
That's what happens when you have to share the den, (or whatever), I suppose:
And she also quilts, and crafts, and knits - and she has a fabulous space to do it all in:
We have one of those here in our 1940 house.
But there isn't room for a sewing area next to it - in fact,we can't even open up the door, let alone use the ironing board inside.
You see, when this house was built 75 years ago, there was a zinc basin and a wringer washer in the laundry room - no dryer - and now that we have a "modern" washer and dryer in there, you can't use the old ironing board (the door's blocked).
I wish I could!
That looks like quite a pleasant little space in which to work.
Sketch by Bolin - I like the linoleum floor, too.

Great work spaces! How long do they stay neat?? Ha, ha... I had a drop down ironing board for a few years. Kinda neat, but they are small, not ideal.
