i love that I have been able to take over about 1/4 of our unfinished basement as my sewing room. It's open to everything, there is a window, decent lighting and I can easily temporarily bleed into other spaces down there if I need to! There's even room (barely) in my space to finish putting together my quilt frame!
what i dislike the least is that i haven't taken the initiative to get more outlets put in, and because it is an unfinished basement with my sewing spot at a window, in MN, it gets cold. There is one outlet on my 1/2 of the basement and I have the phone, heater fan, iron, radio and sewing machine all hooked up to that one outlet (with extension cords and power strips!), so I can't run the heater and the iron at the same time....
guess it's time to call the electrician!
