    How about a pegboard to hang scissors, thread, rulers etc on?

    Or a cabinet to put books etc in?

    You sound like a great husband!!!
    My DH put up kitchen cabinets (upper and lower) and a counter top on two walls of my sewing room. I use the cabinets for my stash and I have space for my computer and phone. It's really great and keeps me organized. Good luck!

    I think a lap top computer would be nice.
    It could be used for watching how to quilt tuts
    and to all things quilting. It is helping me a lot.
    I agree great husbands are hard to find. Mine
    is tops.
