I took over my son's bedroom when he moved out after college a few years ago. It is upstairs. That said, while I enjoy having my own room...I do miss sewing downstairs. I had sewn in my dining room for at least 20 years. I liked the proximity to the kitchen and to the other downstairs rooms. I did not like the constant 'mess' in there. However, I have no intentions to moving back to the dining room.
