I have a large two room area with big walk in closet. The ceiling is 12ft high so it seems like a studio. It's nice and very private. I have a steel insulated door going from this area to the main living area so no sound is heard from either area. The kids stayed down here (two steps lower then the main part of the house) with their music and movies when they were home. Now the whole area is mine. I have a treadmill, small trampoline, and trainer, taking up too much room down there. DH promised to get it moved so I will have room for a LA if I decide I do want one.
