Do y’all have guest bedrooms? How important do y’all think having a guest bedroom is? We are having our house built and with the way things look we will have no space or room for guest. We don’t have guest often in our current house but I think this has a lot to do with the fact that we don’t have room. Idkkkkk I feel like this is our forever home and we should have a guest room but like we already added more square footage just so husband could have a office and that brought the price up a lot and we went over budget months ago… should we bite the bullet, add more sf and cry about it later? Or does anyone have any cheap alternatives?
There is a play room and office. Thinking we could add a futon to either of these spaces and make them functional as guest rooms? But the other issue is that all of the bathrooms are in the bedrooms except for the half bath. Guest would have to walk through a kids room or our room to shower which wouldn’t be ideal and if we do go the route of using the playroom or office as a guest room this has me questioning the whole layout and the idea of having the bathrooms in the bedrooms. Idkkkkk help a girl out.. I’m literally lost.

Had no idea what a Murphy bed but I googled it. Lol love the idea of getting one of these!! Perfect for the office space
I would just add a bathroom to the guest room or toy room and call it a day because even if you made another bedroom for guest you will have to make a bathroom to so forget the room make a useable bathroom for guest
Love this idea. Thinking instead of the half bed in the living/kitchen area just doing a full bath instead so they’ll have a functional bathroom when they stay over.
@alicianoelle32, exactly functional just in case and don’t have to spend alot more money plus a full bath Incase you guys need it to.
If you have plenty of rooms or space you should be fine. If you ever have guests over the kids can all share a room and your guest can take over the room. Or even in the play room/office, blow-up mattresses and boom your set!
This. Also the play room. I have to remind myself they won’t be kids forever and once they get older that can just be made into a guest room.
When we do ours I want a spare room. It's more of a just in case something happens and someone needs a room or if not then one of the kids want a friend over there's a room for them.
This is how I feel. I’m like you neverrrrr know especially since we’ll be here forever.
I once saw on HGTV that guest rooms were the most wasted space in newly built house. When I built our house with my ex we had a flex space with a daybed in it. It was kind of a catch all space. I plan to do the same thing when we add our addition next year.
We live far away from all of our friends and family so a guest room is pretty important to us. My in-laws visited nearly once a month before COVID and we’ve had a decent amount of friends stay as well. Now that my MIL has passed, I think my FIL will stay less just because he doesn’t like to drive alone. Either way, we like having a dedicated space for people to feel welcome and like they have their own space while they’re here.
This is a perfect example of “you never know” Another thing I’m worried about is people who stay for extended time. Like yeah the office and playroom can function as guest room short term but what if we have someone staying for weeks at a time? It’s definitely alot to think about.
Don’t worry about guest! We have one and a guest actually stays maybe twice a year, not really worth having to us.
It's not important lol. But then again I don't like people that much to ever want them to stay over 😂
THIS. I will pay for a hotel for them. Relationships stay nicer. :D
I need a bigger house we have 5 adults and 1 child in our house and it's a 2 bedroom trailer. Karen has her room then me and hubby have our room then our 2 roommate sleep in the living room 😭 too many people in our house!
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
Hey momas we are thinking of sending our son to a boarding school when he turns 8.Do y’all think it’s a good idea?
Thinking I may use this to announce on Fathers Day! I think we are going to make a slideshow for our dads with childhood pictures and at the end have this picture, and possibly and ultrasound picture if we have one. Or maybe redo this picture once we have the ultrasound picture and add it in.What do you ladies think?
Murphy bed...
