    a family member was giving this away, and it's so perfect I couldn't pass it up. This room is attached to our bedroom, used as a home office/craft room. I'll be removing the other small craft table in the picture. Any ideas on how to use the space? I thought of hanging the TV over another small table (like a sofa table) so we can have room for the console storage.

    I love the new desk in front of the window, it allows the door to be opened, but now I'll have a big blank wall, haha Oh how I can't stand a blank wall!!

    What is the console storage you're referring to? Do you actually watch TV in here? And do you still intend to use it for a craft space?

    I might do a custom shelf/table along that whole back wall. It would be shallow (though just deep enough to hold your components) on the half of the wall by the French doors, deep enough on the right to sit at your sewing machine. I'd mount the TV on the wall where the window frame hangs now. And I'd get a rolling swivel chair to be used at the desk and the sewing table.

    What a perfect plan!!! You have me inspired!!! We use the TV, it's pretty rare, my husband has an XBOX that he occasionally plays but I thought about moving that to our main TV or either as you say build something that could accommodate the console and accessories. The printer will be put on a small custom stand by the desk. I think I may actually move the sewing table to the window by our bed (so I can actually flip the leaf up)

    so far...
    •Hang the TV
    •Build custom fit unit for the drop backed space. (maybe floating rustic shelfs?)
    •Move the sewing cabinet
    •Add a new chair

    Those are the two pictures I found that i really like for the TV and components. But I especially love those fluffy sitting cushions to avoid crowding space with a comfy chair for hubby. I'm not crazy for the color of the console table, but I love it's style.

    I wouldn't buy actual furniture. I'd have a top made and support it on cleats around the wall, like so.

    Thank you so much for the picture! I love that idea!! That little dip will really make for a lot of understorage that way. And the chair can be pushed in out of the walking area! This will work absolutely perftect! I can't thank you enough for this idea!

    I'm trying to design my office/craft space and saw this as a viable solution:

    I love working on puzzles but don't want them out all the time. This way, when not working on a puzzle, simply roll it back under.

    If you are using it for multiple tasks, this might work.
