Changes in the Air

So I've been working on getting two etsy shops set up, which is part of the reason why I haven't been posting as much lately, one for my photography and one for purses and accessories. But I've run into a little problem in that I live in a studio apartment and there isn't a whole lot of room for large scale projects, such as ones that involve my sewing machine on a regular basis, not to mention it's not the most attractive thing for me to keep all my supplies in paper bags stuck in the corner. So I've been on a search lately for some piece of storage furniture to corral all my various supplies and finished products, but it would be even nicer if I could come across some kind of workstation that would actually fit in my apartment and allow me to leave my sewing machine set up. So I ran across the adjustable table below on craigslist today, and I'm tempted to get it for a dining/coffee table and converting my existing dining table into a workstation. I've posted before about my love of pedestal tables, so it is definitely a step in the right direction.

I'm conflicted though, as I love my little dining nook just the way it is, but it does make it difficult to entertain. What do you think, is it a good idea to upgrade the coffee table to include dining?
