We have been renting out one of our bedrooms to a friend from church for about a year. She's not home very often these days (she's working 60 hours a week right now and spends most of her free time out of the home), so it's easy to forget we have a roommate. We have enjoyed having the extra income and extra person to play games with (although we haven't done that for a while). And now she'll be moving out by the end of the month.
Last night Joe asked me what I want to do with the room. Oh, the possibilities! I could use the walls as a over-sized canvas and practice finger painting. Or I could spend my days in the room, depriving myself of light and comforts to feed my inner writer with ideas. We could get rid of the litter boxes and build a sandbox in the room, converting it into our cats' walk-in toilet. I could hang a bunch of shelves and rods and make the ultimate walk-in closet. We could turn it into a time-out room or a sex room or a meditation room. If we knew someone else who needed a place to stay, we could just rent it out again.
What would you do with an extra bedroom (not too large, not too small, blackout blinds, ceiling fan, carpeted, closet)?

lol @ sex room! nice! you would say that! i have enjoyed transforming our "office" into a baby's room, combining the office with the guest bedroom. so, that's a thought...and the fingerpainting could be a great theme! lol
Okay, so I can assume you already have a babies room lined up?? If NOT, then of course it's got to be the room for the baby. But I am assuming you have one lined up because I think you would have said so...sooo, what about an office/library? We have a room with bookcases lined with books, or a "study" if you will. It also has a computer desk that matches the bookcases with a computer on it. But now days everyone laptops it, so you could make it a study with books and a little cat area as well. Just some ideas ;)
Hey, I've been looking for a new place to stay.
Oh, wait.
Never mind. :-)
We've got a guest room and an office already, but I like the idea of a room just for my books. They get a bit crowded and feel forgotten sometimes!
Meh. The baby will sleep in our room for a while, and he or she isn't joining us for about another 6 months anyway.
lol Deb to be honest if it were me I would set it up as a hobby slash rec room. A place that is tucked away so if its a bit messy no one cares and a place to throw bean bags down and pillows and just have a nice place to be. One half craft area one half place to have friends or just hubby hang out. Plus my floor would be made out of trampoline!
