We are empty nesters and I took the big bedroom in the basement (10 x 15)for a sewing room. Now I find it isn't really big enough but thats because of a long arm. Anyway I have a walk in closet with three rows of shelves for fabric because anything 2yds and above is on shelves, color co=ordinated, wrapped on fabric boards. One wall if for embrodier machines and cutting surface. The cornor sewing table holds the regular sewing machine and serger and I made a cover for the treadle so I can use it for pressing. It works very well and is easy to maintain. It has carpet but if I were to redo the floors it would be wood or tile for easier maintence.I have slelves on two walls for cd's etc, and other sewing necessities and across from the machines nice bright prints to look up at. The color is blue and salmon. My spouse put in bright full sprectum lights for me. I spend hours in that room. Pick colors you like and make it sunsiney to keep you happy even when you are sewing at night. :wink:
