STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Heehee, I have one of those rooms!  We too have the guest room, the office, the MB, and then the OTHER room.  Currently it is my second laundry room; I have an ironing board, clothes drying rack, and movable clothes rack.  I've been using it for my Ebay sales lately. 

I've suggested to hubby that we convert it into my closet; can you guess his reply?  A second guest room isn't a bad idea.  We inevitabley end up with someone on our couch when company comes, because it's often more than one person/couple.  If you went with a second guest room you could still use it as a nursery in waiting.  They sell convertable bedroom sets that are so modern and pretty that have beds that go from crib to toddler to full size twin beds and you can't tell they were for babies originally at all; I have seen some beautiful sets.  You could also use it as an "activity" room.  Like, if you do crafts or sewing or any kind of hobby, you could set it up as a chill out room to do your activities in. 

 

We actually have our "own" rooms. My DH has an office /computer room (he has a Mac collection) & I have what I call the reading room because it has book shelves in it but I am using it to store craft stuff, etc. I must admit that right now it is a wreck & holds everything I don't know what to do with, but it's about to be my project. I'm going to put a single bed in there for additional seating for me but then it will be a spot for a guest to sleep.

You are so lucky!!

We only have a three bedroom house.

One is the nursery and one is the guest room.

I would love to have a fourth....

office

huge closet

playroom

another guest room

art or painting/craft/ebay room

sunroom

library

sitting room or reading room

 

ohhhhh the possibilities

 

what about a fitness room?  you can buy cheaper small flat screen tvs, put a radio in there, a fitness ball, maybe fitness dvds, a mat, bike or treadmill and weights. 

or you can make it a multi-purpose room...

i think a really amazing chair, cute rug, cute lamp, TONS of pictures on the wall (kinda like an overall memory room), a long table for ironing, wrapping things, just overall spreading out might be a good addition.  you could add cabinets for storage, or add built-ins. 

We are the same.  Two people living in a 4 bedroom home.  One bedroom got converted into a 2nd office, another is empty but a gun cabinet, and the third room is absolutely empty.  I want to make one into a guest bedroom since occasionally I have family over. 

we have a three bedroom, i wish we had four! one used to be my sewing room (now the nursery) and the other is our computer room (now jammed with my sewing stuff, too)

we have one extra bedroom too. when we get the finances i plan on turning it into a guest room / library or sitting room. i'm thinking of doing a sofa-sleeper with a side table and lamp, my bookcases along one wall with a cozy chair/ottoman and a tall floor lamp beside it. that way we can use it as a library or reading/sitting room when there are no guests. (which is most often the case)

i like the idea of a crafts or project room, but i'm way too messy when it comes to creative stuff and i'd always have to keep the door shut. my messy/creative space is better kept in the basement.

you guys are so great! Thank you.

I am definitely not crafty in any way, so unfortunately I can't use it as a hobby room. I am actually turning my living room into a sitting/reading room because I have an amazing chair (it is literally the perfect reading chair), and it is too big to fit through any of the upstairs doorways.

lindsayp - Halley & Sully would loooove their own room. And it would be kind of nice to have all of their toys in one place. Hmmm.....

In our new house, we will have our master BR, Guest BR, Office, and exercise room (with my elliptical machine and such).
