How about a pegboard to hang scissors, thread, rulers etc on?

Or a cabinet to put books etc in?

You sound like a great husband!!!
My DH put up kitchen cabinets (upper and lower) and a counter top on two walls of my sewing room. I use the cabinets for my stash and I have space for my computer and phone. It's really great and keeps me organized. Good luck!

I think a lap top computer would be nice.
It could be used for watching how to quilt tuts
and to all things quilting. It is helping me a lot.
I agree great husbands are hard to find. Mine
is tops.
