Fantastic. I agree with some of the other posters, make the walls white and bright. I have a whole basement (less the laundry space) to myself for my sewing and my only complaint is the lack of natural light. My dream would be to put one egress window in, which would bring in alot of light and its near where my sewing machines set. Over my long arm, I have to rely on lights perched on my machine. The can lights overhead are fine for normal stuff, but I wish they were brighter! Have fun configuring your space, I am sure it will be a fun project for you at last after dealing with the horror and destruction of the hurricane. I lived in FL for 24yrs, so I understand how miserable that is!
