I have a room in my basement. (I know, no natural lights! ) I have a fantastic light system and lots of space and a great set up. There is a chair lift that goes down to the space. My basement is basically split into two parts - 1/2 for me, 1.2 for a computer play room and storage. My 1/2 is split into 2 parts - 2/3 sewing, 1/3 pottery. The sewing is 22 x 13, all drywall and painted a lovely green with floors that look like hardwood. Plenty of room for old and new machines, lots of storage thanks to some built ins, a couple great cutting/ironing tables and best of all a bathroom! My husband spends most of his time on that computer, so I might as well be where he is. His room is about the same size - expect he shares it with my granddaughter's toys. I love that I can shut the door and leave everything out and walk away and not have to throw everything into boxes and hurry to pick up the way I did before I had my own place to sew.
