We no longer have a living room, it is my sewing room. I had never lived in a house that didn't allow me to have a sewing room b efore this one (13 years of it now), and I finally decided why should I do without my area when he has a huge out building for his toys, plus his own computer room (which I have learned to use now, too), and he takes over the dining room (reading newspapers is really a chore)...so the living room, with a love seat, TV and remote are his. People laugh at our home...but it is us.
