Love your basement! I too work in our basement - It is too cool for my hubby, so I've claimed the workspace. I have TV, radio, and CD player to keep me company. I absolutely love having all that space for myself. I painted part of it, then my arms gave out (a few years ago) You've inspired me to get going again, and finish painting it. Just this Xmas break, I whipped up some curtains to go over my windows out of some languishing "fabric on hand" that my daughter had passed on to me. They really make it more private at night when I'm down there at night with all the lights on. One thing I mean to do is paint those support poles - I see yours also are like mine- that brownish reddish color. Thanks for sharing - I'm glad I 'm not the only "mole" quilter in the group.
