Wonderful space!
Are you leaving the sofa in there?
My old eyes needs lots of light, so I would probably paint the wood paneling. (Seemed like heresy when we did that to a basement room in our old house, but it ended up looking nice and really improved the lighting in the space.)
I like the suggestions for pegboard and lots of cupboards and cabinets!

We did that decades ago in my mother's house - the 1960's dark paneling was repainted white. It's amazing how much lighter and bigger and airier those rooms looked - and all for a day's work and less than $100/bucks.

Very nice, I love the paneling. Don't paint over it, just get lots of white furniture like bookcases, a sewing table and a cutting table. And some overhead lights such as track lighting. The kind that hangs down a bit from the ceiling. Pendant lighting is what it's called I think.

Great! Do you use the pingpong table for sandwiching your quilts? I was thinking that one would just the right size and then when not in use could be used as a design wall.
Any thoughts or comments appreciated.
