Previously our TV was located in the loft (upstairs) and that's where my husband would watch TV while I was downstairs in our "back room" sewing/quilting. I hated not spending time with my husband and always being separated like that. Then our daughter bought new living room furniture so we inherited her old furniture. We put the furniture in the "back room", moved a TV down there, so now my husband can watch TV while I sew and we're both happy and spending time together. And yes, I sometimes enjoy his hunting and fishing programs with him while I sew! Works for us.
