Hmm...we're in the design phase of a master bath reno. The designer suggested a make-up counter in front of the large window where the tub sits now (we're getting rid of that tub to enlarge the shower). I don't wear a lot of make-up so that idea didn't thrill me but maybe it could be a sewing counter... great natural light. No, I have a sewing room so I don't need that.
Not a strange place but, I have set up my machine on my screened porch. Good light, nice breeze and I can hear the birds.
