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

My husband asked the other day about turning a our formal living room into a music room for my new grand piano. My sewing stuff is comfortably on one side of our bedroom and I'm happy enough there. I'm still the only person without my "own" space. We may do this---but it will require moving a lot of large items including the 800 pound piano and also a very large 75 gal fish tank. I'm still mulling it over.

This is exactly what I am in the process of doing right now. Never used the livingroom except for the past few years when doing home repairs and improvements as we don't have a shed or garage, so right now it looks like a hoarders room with all the construction equip, tools, paints, etc,etc. In process of dejunking and purging. Gonna make it into my quilting studio. Have one more major repair to go, which will include a closet in my master bath that will hold all the tools, paints, etc. Weird place, I know, but had to remove the tub I never used, and the space is perfect. I figure a livingroom is for living, and this is the living I intend to do for now. My son uses the formal dining room for his own personal computer/study room, but as soon as he goes away to college in the fall, that is my new gardening area - seed starting, herb growing, etc. Its your house. Live in it how it makes you happy.

I don't have an extra living room. I have one living room, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. I agree with Nike. JUST DO IT!!! LOL Since it seems to be an extra room that is not being used, you could rehome your sewing stuff. It would all be in one location. If it has an open entryway, you could make long curtains to close it off when not in there (or to hide a mess). LOL LOL LOL Good luck with your decision. Please if possible would you post some pics when its done.
