I have always dreamed of having a basement partley because it would be slight sound proofed and we could lock it up and kit it out as we wished. but at the moment i guess it would be the lounge but thats the only other room we could use. I like the kitchen aswell though all the cold surfaces and tools ready at hand. I just have to stay quiet though which i find really hard but living in a terrace means lots of nosy neighbours.
