    Check out well known quilter Freddy Moran's studio, it's bright yellow! It's in her and Gwen Marston's book, Collaborative Quilting (one of my favorite books, by the way.)

    Hi, My sewing room is a very bright coral and blue. the reason I painted it that way is because I detest all white rooms and coral is on 3 walls, blue on the one behind the quilting machine. I have to lang prints on that wall because it is really in excessable but I can look up from thesewing machine and see happy colors. My feeling is do what makes you happy. :lol:

    I, too, have the brown paneling. As my eyes age :wink: , I find that I need more light. Will soon need to be investing in better lighting.

    I agree, go with your pretty yellow. You can always leave 1 design wall white if you want or just put up a long curtain rail from which to hand a white flannel design wall to arrange your colours on.
