I waited a long time to have my own room. For the past 7 years it has been a small upstairs bedroom that overlooks green space in a subdivision. I can see birds in trees and that's about it. My machine table faces those windows and there are blinds if the few times a year the sun gets in my eyes. I don't have a real stash so fabric fading isn't a thing. I find I don't like to sew at night even though I have a lot of really good lighting. But daytime is wonderful.
