I have a whole craft room to myself - and yet I find myself wanting to work upstairs in the living room a lot so here's what I did...
I got a big black case on wheels to store crafts in (it's really for scrapbooking but I put all kinds of supplies in there)
I also went to a hardware store and got a big flat thin board. I store it behind the entertainment center. I take it out when I want and put it over the coffee table to work on and wheel my storage case over and there you have it!
HI I love to do crafts as well and it does make a mess. if you have tons of closet space ther are really nice ways of making closets into craft stations. either ikea or containter store could give you ideas and then just use the ideas with or without their merchandise. if you browse thru some old dec magazines in the library you will this idea built out. Finally check out your local fabric stores. they often have craft tables for sale. ie narrow table with two huge leaves that fold up for use. (ie could set about 15 people ,,,).. Sauder also makes craft tables and cabinet that fold in with all the work, yet they are a tad expensive. be sure and show up what you end up with. jeanne

Is the eating area in the kitchen? I generally turn my eating areas into craft spaces and then just eat at my desk, heh.
