I do not have a room to myself, but I have a space at the far end of our great room which measures 20x40 feet. I have about 1/4 of that. My end has the 6' wide x 12' long raised hearth which I am alway's stumbling on, so we intend to remove that this winter or next spring. I am afraid of falling the one measley step and breaking some bones. I feel cramped, but it works, I have the picture window to watch the critters and such, I can watch tv if I want, and when I sew after bedtime, nobody hears me in my corner.
