Michael, what are you going to do with that beautiful tongue & groove pine on your walls? Have you already gotten rid of it? I wish I was closer and I would take it off your hands. Anyway, I would go for as much light as possible. And storage space would be a must. I love cabinets so I can keep the light off my fabric. I really need more of those, but my sewing space is in my family room, so not enough room for more cabinets.
