I WISH I had some area to myself. This summer when we were house hunting we were looking at a place that had a sunken living room. So correspondingly, there was an area of the basement under the living room that was only about 4 feet high. They were using it as storage. I called dibs and said I would make that my man room. Just get some mechanic's wheeled coaster things and slide around.

unfortunately we didn't end up in that house.

but then again, the house we ended up in led to me finding the yard, so it all worked out in the end.
