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 !
