I love my room because it has everything I need in there. I have a window to watch the weather and the birds, and if worse comes to worse, I can close the door. It is my haven to be alone and create.

I love the common thread here....we love our rooms because they are ours!!!

My favorite part is my dogs bed. She will not let me be in my room unless she gets to come along too!!!! She even has her own doll quilt hanging on the wall above her bed thanks to sapdoggie who make her a little beagle quilt!!

My room is my own. I can spend all day there if I want. I have a restroom right next door, a TV, good lighting, a refrigerator about 20 feet away, a telephone with call ID, so I can decide if I want to answer or not. I have it decorated for me, no one else. I have nice cabinets for storage. It's GREAT!!! And it makes me HAPPY!!

My sewing room is special because it has everything that I love. My treadle, my vintage rocker, a great stash and wonderful sewing tools. I even have my great grandmother's lantern that she carried to the outhouse at night. It's the new mixed with the old that I like. It's a quite place where I can create.

Because it is a room for me to 'getaway'. It's all quilting related stuff in there and no one but me ( and sometimes my lil one) will need to go in there. It's a place for me to hide, create and get lost for a while. I refuse to call it my own because hubby comes in to chat from time to time and I like that he likes to sit and watch and spend time with me while I'm working on my hobby. He's got a special place too and my lil one and I sit and watch daddy do his hobby- woodturning In the shop. We both respect eachothers hobbies and when privacy is desired. Win win situation !

I'm like everyone else...it is mine....ALL MINE :D
I painted it a salmon color (the men call it "pink") and it is very "girly"....like being a little girl with her own bedroom again. For me, it is twice as special because we were not well off when I was a child so I never had the matching bedding, curtains and all that but always dreamed of it. My isn't even done yet and I swear it is taking me so long because I'm having so much fun with the decorating!
I too, have LOTS of family pictures...it's everything that I like. :D

It's the only space that is ALL MINE !!!!! No one in my family even goes in it. Guess they are all afraid they will be swallowed up by fabric !!!

I share our family room with my DH and our dog, Teddy. I have half and he has half for a media room. He can watch TV or movies and I can quilt and since we are not able to spend much time together, we can still be in the same room without feeling guilty that I'm quilting and he's sitting my himself somewhere else in the house. I can look out onto the backyard, and be in an open and peaceful place. And he can help hold my quilt when I need an extra hand and still watch TV. It's the best of all worlds for us. Thanks for letting me share.

I think that is the biggest thing that makes it special- it is mine! My DH uses it as a dressing room sometimes, but only so he won't wake me. He is special, too.

I do clean up in between projects & right now I am in the middle of about 4 projects so you can imagine what it looks like. Each day tho I am closer to being done & clean it back up!
