I would go for it. We turned my dinning room into my sewing room. It is in the front of the house and has a fantastic view from the large window. It really worked when my daughter wanted the dinning room furniture. I told her she had to take all the china and silverware that went with it. She was happy and I was glad to get rid of stuff that was never used and only took up space. I now have a sewing room with my computer, bookcases for my fabrics and stash and a desk for my Brother Quattro (embroidery/sewing machine). What luxury!!
