Lego Building "Area"

So I've been getting heavy into legos recently...played with them like everyone else when I was a kid...but just now getting back into them.

I'd like to see what other people use as an area to build their legos? What kind of surface if anything different then just the kitchen table? How do you prevent legos from falling off the table...if they do, do you have something to catch them? Something on the floor to make them easily seen?

that kinda thing. I started building again about two months ago...and I've done #9392, #42006, and #9395. I've started #9396 and am missing a lift bar...so time to get serious before I start building #10240 and #10227...not to mention all the others I've got my eyes on.

thanks for any guidance you can give me!
