Guest Room

Well, you know that our townhouse doesn’t have a spare room for guests since I’m using both of the small bedrooms and there just isn’t room for a guest in either of them. (Apparently I have a lot of stuff.)

So far, this hasn’t been an issue. We’ve only had one overnight guest since we moved in, my niece, about a month ago. She slept on the couch and was fine with that but it’s not really ideal. I mean, it’s RIGHT in the middle of the house, but what else could we do? Ideally, we’d at least have a futon downstairs, but in the meantime …

That doesn’t mean we can’t provide … something, right?

So, here’s our guest room. A twin-sized airbed with a built-in pump. Not ideal, perhaps, but still–it can be set up downstairs which might be a longish walk from the bathroom, but which at least provides some privacy. Mom and Dad just need to avoid their computers until our guest is awake, and hey, the guest gets the whole floor to themselves for a peaceful night sleep. There’s even a television.

Although, keeping Chappy out in the morning might be tricky.

He does so love snuggling with blankets and such.

  1. I love Chappydoodle!!!!!

  2. our guest room didn’t get used as often as the one in hawaii did, so last year we gave the bed away and moved my craft room into it. (luv it!) We picked up a queen size platform air bed as well. Downstairs we have a family room, complete with bar, fireplace and it steps out onto the back deck. Next to it is a half bath/laundry room. My mom loves that i set the bed up in there when she comes to visit as she has her own floor of the house! She says it feels great on her bad back and has thought of getting one for home when her back is acting up. I love not having a room most of the year that is unused.

  3. We have no real guest room either. My two boys had the two small bedrooms in our house and now that our oldest has moved out of state we aren’t sure whether we’ll keep the bed there or turn it into a walk in closet or craft room or home office. Maybe a comination home office and craft room. But I don’t want to leave a whole room virtually unused for the rare occasions on which we have guests.
