What do you think of converting living room to sewing room?

When I lived in Indiana, my living room was completely closed in and that would have been perfect for a sewing room.
If your DH suggested it then go for it!!!

That's exactly what I'm doing now. I recently developed bone cancer in my right femur, and my sewing room had been upstairs. The stairs were becoming increasingly more difficult for me to manage, so my DH suggested moving it all downstairs into the living room. We, like you, rarely use it -- we always entertain in the family room. It has worked out very well for me. And I love having all my sewing 'stuff' so close.

Go for it :lol:
We are building a new home, same design to previous one (we loved it so much) however we never used the formal lounge room and were almost going to take it out of the design when I jokingly mentioned it would make a great sized craft/sewing room. Hubby agreed it would and so we divided the lounge room into 3rds, two 3rds for my craft/sewing pursuits and 1 3rd as a storeroom. So now I have a hobby room, a walk in pantry and a storeroom so am one happy woman :P

I did it. I have a LR with a large alcove, big enough for my LA frame and all my other sewing gear so I moved everything right on in there. Sure it shows but I'm neat and people love to see what I'm working on anyway. It's your home you should live in it the way it will work for you.
