What makes your quilting/sewing room so special?

It's mine, it's pepto bismal pink, it's filled with stuff I love, it has pictures of trips I have made, it's very girly, it has windows across the front that look out on the lake, others only enter at their own risk, it's mine!

My room isn't as large as I would like - surprise isn't it. We converted one of the kids bedrooms. Put a cubical wall on the full wall. Emptied out the closet including the hanging rod - but kept the shelf. Put cubicals & storage drawer cabinet in there. Made a cubical TV stand - for my small HD TV with a DVR. Added a desk that is also my sewing table. Built a rolling cutting table with storage underneath. The greatest thing is I did it all myself (well my daughter helped with the construction). Even stripped the wallpaper and painted above and below the chair rail. My husband is a painting decorating contractor and kind of takes over in that department at home. This room is totally my design - wall color, shelves, everything. Did it when he was on a fishing trip. When he came home he was very gracious - didn't even comment on my not quite perfect paint job. Even helped to remove the paint I dripped on the floor. Best thing - it is MY ROOM!

The special thing about it is the feeling I get whenever I enter it. It's a place of peace and quiet. I put some very soft music on the cd player and just float away. No other room in the house makes me feel that way. 8-)

Ditto everyone! My sewing room is large, in the basement, faces north, so it doesn't get hot from afternoon sun; painted light yellow, with purple and pink as accent colors; loved that rashberry color mention! I have a desk at one end that my sewing machine sits on, cabinets for books and beads, etc. a cutting table that can roll out...another desk at the other end for my computer. I love to scan onto fabric, and in my last house the computer was on the second floor and my sewing room was in the basement...two flights of stairs apart!
My hubby has his own room and his own computer...we like our spaces!

My is small but really functional - every bit of wall and floor space is used. I put up pretty fabrics, quilt pictures for inspiration, directions, pieces of art...all over the walls without worrying about decor. I love the sewing tables that my dad is making me. And as everyone has said - mine MINE!!!

I LOVE my sewing room. My computer is there as well as all of my sewing supplies so can download whatever I want. Our former house was very old and decorated in a country style. This is a ranch and it just doesn't work, but my sewing room is all Americana and it's very cozy. It's close enough to hubby as he watches tv. Wouldn't change it for the world.

I have a little flat screen TV, and Dh bought be a glider chair with foot stool and I have a lovely Ott floor lamp, which allows for me to see to hand quilt and applique. I love my quilt room. Although sometimes it is hard for me to leave it is just so cozy.
I also have lovely ikea cabinets and use a drafting table for a cutting area, which is perfect height. He also added a table to my sewing cabinet to make it an L shape next to my machine which allows me to have a great working space and a place to put my laptop.
