I have a a friend who recently got her DH to enclose the patio for her sewing room. She did something wonderful, put pot lights all across the ceiling. You know there is never enough light!!! Go the the Home Depot and ask about kinds of lights so you will be educated! She also had a couple of electrical plugs in the ceiling so she could plug her iron into it for her centered cutting/ironing table! Another thing she did was to have one whole wall as a design wall. Now she leaves her projects up there and doesn't forget about them. Saves storage space!! Good luck on your new room, you lucky girl! God Bless your DH for understanding that you need this space and supporting your need!!!
