I used to sew in the basement but it felt like I was in a dungeon. So I moved my sewing room to one of our spare bedrooms and we put in laminate wood flooring so I could roll around( we have a 4 bedroom house all on the same floor). When my granddaughters moved to Colorado I took over the room they used to use for my cutting room and took all the boxes out of the closets and moved the onto the cutting room. I still store my fabric and books and batting in two rooms in the basement.
