Well as of this moments my living room is my sewing area. So I guess my walls are beige. Not to exciting for a sewing area. I have imagine that once our new house is built and I have a designated sewing room I will most likely go with a soft yellow or some other cheerful color that making one feel as if it is a nice bright sunny day outside since I live somewhere that is usually dreary especially in the winter where I spend alot of time cooped up in the house due to snow.
