I have my sewing space in the unfinished basement of our house. I keep a dehumidifier on all year round. I keep my fabric in storage bins and lately canvas shelve boxes. i do need to use a space heater during the winter at times or if it gets too cold I can't sew down there. I always have a hand project for sitting up with the family but my downstairs space is my mental health away from watching too many reality shows like Storage wars andthe like. Good luck in your move It is beautiful country out there. From Pittsburgh PA
