What to do with small room

The house we are buying has a small downstairs office, maybe 6x6. The wife has generously given me this room to do with as I please. Any ideas on what to use it for?
The safe will be upstairs in my office.
Being ground floor with a window I don't really want any guns laying about.
If all else fails I can make it the mother in law suite. [}:)]

Off of the living room, nowhere near an entry, the kitchen, garage, etc.
I have a 5x6 closet that I use for this purpose. It is satisfying to know that I am self-sufficient (in this regard) for a goodly amount of time if hard times arise.
6x6 is pretty small. Put up a lot of ventilated shelving and make it your dedicated first aid/toiletry/emergency supply storage. Stock up on needed essentials with a looooong shelf-life. Use the oldest stuff first (once you get a 1 - 2 year supply built...) and replace item when you normally do your shopping. Place newly purchased replacement item at back of line. This will keep your 1 - 2 year supply current.

That is a good idea.
Here ya go - Tell your wife to pick out new curtains for her new sewing/craft room. In about two weeks start dropping VERY subtle hints about a certain firearm you've been eyeing. She'll get the hint...
SAUNA !!!
I love that idea.....or the tread mill idea!
Mud room
Man cave to be lined with reloading machines and related gear.
Joe is right on this one, perfect size for a Man Cave/reloading room
If I get mud that far into the house, I am already in big troubleI live in Ga, so if I want a sauna I will just walk outside [:D]Too small for a man cave. I am planning on building a shop out back to suit the reloading/man cave role
I'm thinking a murphy door would be fun, and initially using it for a small reading room.
