Several years ago, I went from a tiny sewing room/office into my living room. It was 16 x 22 and no one ever went in it. Once in a while the UPS guy would come to the door, everyone else used the back door.....I really needed the space, so I moved my sewing room and office in there, and I have never looked back. The quilters that come know they can come in that door anytime, and now even the UPS guy uses the back door, although he mostly brings fabric! This room is used every day! Oh that little tiny sewing room I had, I took out a closet and a dark ugly hallway, opened it up into my kitchen and made kinda like a den that connects to my kitchen, and that is used all the time also.....so it was win, win....I say do what makes you happy! Life is too short to not have things the way you want them. Jan
