You will not regret it! I am a widow, I did just that. We lived in a large home for 32 years that we builded to our liking then we moved 8 years ago and down sized. I sure did miss my craft/sewing room so for 7 years I endured with out my own space. Then DH passed away so as much as I miss him after 45 years of marriage I decided I would make me a fun room for my sewing and crafts. We still have a informal living room so now I am very happy with my own "play room". Good Luck!!
