Hi Sharon
My ex and I bought a 2 family house together and moved up here to New Hampshire in the mid-90s.
The house had been lived in by college students, so needed a lot of work.
I was already a quilter so here's what I did: the living room became my big sewing room.
I had the renovator put in a huge closet across most of one wall with shelves for my fabric collection.
I had a door I didn't need (went into a front hall) removed and replaced with a wall, giving me space for a design wall.
I had shades made for the 3 windows of some special meshy material that kept rays out (so fabric wouldn't fade from sunlight)
I spend most of my time in that room and have never had a moment's regret.
My smallish dining room became my living room.
