Lucky you! My DH helped me create my creative room also. Couple thoughts: Ask your DH for suggestions, he will feel like he is part of your passion and will give you your 'space'. :) Make sure there is room for an extra chair for him to come in and sit with you every now and then. More than 1 design wall if you have the space. I have a small portable one I move around. Two large thread holders (120 pegs each) attached to a board on the wall hold/display all my smaller embroidery and sewing thread cones. For those with carpet, use a dog hair comb to 'rake' up the threads, pins and small bits of fabric. The ones with longer metal tines work great. Good wishes to you, you are going to love YOUR space!
