My sewing room is in my basement too and it is nice and cozy and cool there when the summer weather gets warm... although these days we are dealing with nasty rain/drizzle/fog..RDF... sigh..... peasoup fog at that.. although today, despite the overcast day it is actually warm out there.

I love it down there... cool and wonderful walk-out with a patio and lots of sun coming in for the early morning....
Proud of my Hubby, putting up walls to create a great sewing room for me>>>

I've had my sewing room in both the basement and upstairs.
I liked the basement for the summertime (and it was a HUGE room), but the rest of the year I like upstairs (in a much smaller room). I like the sun's natural light when I'm working. The basement was just too darned dark.
So my room is now back upstairs. Probably will always stay here even though it's so much smaller.
We're arid here (Idaho) so never had a need for a humidifier. I love our weather!
