My walls are soft peach with a white ceiling, white trim and white fixtures. It makes me happy :-P

My room is bright lime green with white trim and white bookshelves and sewing table! The lime is my signature/favorite color and makes me happy. It is so SASSY! If you want yellow I think you should have exactly what you want - what will make you smile every single time you go into that room!

You could always get a full spectrum task lamp. I have a ceiling fixture with full spectrum bulbs and a small task light (Ott lamp) with a full spectrum bulb. They really help to see true colors.

idea, in our family room is where I sew now, the walls were the dark paneling, I just took indoor light ivory paint and painted over the paneling and is so light and bright now instead of the dark paneling, I left the dark woodwork to give it some contrast

My sewing room is raspberry sherbet with navy blue and cream accents. It is a bright happy room, and I love spending time in here. It also holds my desk and computer too.

I agree. My sewing room also has sunny lemon yellow walls and it doesn't cause a bit of trouble with seeing the colors of my fabric.

My DH told me last night that he is no longer going to use the office in his garage and that I can have it as my new sewing room. It is much nicer than the area that I now have located in our unfinished basement. I originally thought that I would repaint etc. However, I went out there last night and just sat and dreamed. The current walls are a light grey with white molding and the cabinets are white. There are several Hot Rod posters and related signs on the walls. I decided that I am going to leave the signs and the paint. The light gray is the perfect background to make fabric samples pop. There is a large window in the office that looks out to the garage where I can watch my DH and DS work on their hot rods and other projects. The room has a 5 CD changer, TV with cable, dorm fridge, coffee pot, micro wave, huge U shaped computer desk that I will use for sewing and cutting, computer, two cork bulletin boards, shelves etc. I never thought that I would ever have such a nice place to sew. Yay me!

just wait till you go to repaint that lime green. my sewing room was 1 wall of lime green and the other 3 were hot pink... it took 2 coats of tinted primer and then 3 coats of paint and you can still see the lime in spots! it was not fun to cover.

WOW -- sounds like an ideal room! You can go in there and never have to come out for anything..... :lol:

I know! It is a dream come true. My DH spent a great deal of money building a detached over sized three car garage with an office a few years ago. It is much nicer than our home. LQTM. But now he has glaucoma and leukemia so he has to slow down a little. I can't wait to get in there and start moving him OUT! If I sound heartless, I'm sorry. Inside I am really sad that his health is the reason that he is giving up his dream. That is one of the reasons that I have decided to leave his Hot Rod signs up.
