Hmmm everyone had such great suggestions. I love the idea of a reading/writing room. Oh I would love to have one of those. A place to just "get it done" and it would be so peaceful and nice.

Let us know what you decide to do!

Chelle, wow, to each her own purse room. Hey, if that makes her happy, I love it! (I have a purse drawer.)

Mrs. X, a music room is a possibility — I play both flute (have one) and piano (would need to buy one).

DH has been trying to buy me an electronic keyboard for years — the kind that practically replicates a traditional piano's sound — but I've wanted to hold out for the real deal. Big-ticket item, though, and I'm not sure this is the time. (Of course who knows WHEN that might be!) Thinking the music room might fit for the next house someday.

**My word verification is "happen" — should I modify my comment to somehow try to cash in on the magic?** :)

I wish I had a music room with a piano, although I don't know if you are musically inclined.

If not, I agree with the writing studio. Just a place that is yours. Hemingway had a wonderful one in Key West!

computer room, reading room, I have a friend with a 'purse room'... personally I'd go with a craft or reading room...

Comfy, peaceful, retreat-like . . . sounding good. I hadn't thought about the ways simple decor choices could distinguish it. I do use meditation CDs on occasion (haven't gotten in to doing it using nothing but my quiet mind). Right now I go to the guest room with them. Might be nice to use the NEW ROOM for that.

Thanks for the ideas!

I like the reading/writing room idea and would want to give it the feel of a retreat with maybe a tabletop fountain, over-sized pillows on the floor, chenille throws over the chairs, some nice plants and candles, rustic furniture...just a really comfortable place to get away from the tv and other noise.

I can't meditate to save my life, but if you do this would be a great place to do it. (-;

Ooh, I've always wanted a writing "studio," so I know where you're coming from, Joonie! Preferably one with a water view. Or a separate building on the property like a guest house or casita turned studio.

I have a dedicated office (basement, though, with not much of a studio feel). If I created a studio, I'd have to find an artist to use it. Or . . . hmmm . . . to RENT it. :)

How about making your extra room an "artist's studio"? Even if you don't paint or sculpt or anything like that. It just sounds like a cool room to have!
