The extension plans for our house include an upstairs studio which has been earmarked for ME!! It will be a long rectangle with a cathedral ceiling and is going to serve as my office/sewing room/TV room. Since having kids we have had to do without an office and when you run your own business it can get very frustrating. I also make the patchwork cot quilts that we sell at CHALK and with 2 shops now it is almost impossible to produce these in the limited space I have.
My intention is to have the office area and sewing bench up one end with a floating bookcase on casters seperating it from a 'den' where I can watch as much crappy television as I like without interruption.
I have threatened to have a door at the bottom of the stairs to which only I have the key and I think they almost believe that I will do it.
I can not begin to tell you how excited I am about this part of the house - I often find myself daydreaming about it and I'm petrified someone will tell me we can't have it as it seems to good to be true.
