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!
love how you started with 14 and then said, "my half"...sounds like me! lol!
the thing i like most, which is a hard choice bc i have so many, many things i love about my sewing room, but like others on here, things changed for the better over the years so, I am going with: a room of my own where I can mess and gaum and close the door and walk away from it and no one can see 'presents'.
What do i like the least? it's such a small thing cause i am in love with it all since hubby built new shelves for christmas: when I want to go to closet it's a little cramped manuevering around the maze of furniture, but it's the best it's ever been. i remember when I was in a little corner in computer/guest room, (8x11), and had two tables and one chair and just turned around in the chair, no place to lay out fabrics, no design board, no pegboard, fabric stuffed under tables, etc. Compared to now I am in quilting heaven!
I have a cutting/design table. An office chair that swivels. A 6' sewing table with my machine and serger. Pegboard above that, great lighting. shelves galore, a karaoke machine so my grandbaby can sing while I quilt...I could go on and on, it's so wonderful. :D C
