"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beau and I had a 4 BR house that we just sold in the midwest. Master bedroom, his office, my office, and a guest bedroom. Yeah, it was a lot of space, but we also had furniture for every room and our books could take up 1 entire bedroom.

We are renting a 3 BR now. It works because I can use my work office a lot more than I could before we moved. It is quiet, comfortable and close to where we live. Beau and I can't share an office. We would be fighting until the end of never.

I've sort of got 4 bedrooms. One for me, one (loft in my bedroom) for my office (since I work from home) one for my roommate, and one for guests/books. I hardly use it now that I have a kindle, and I don't have guests as often as I'd like!

information libertarian

Our current rental is 4 bedrooms, and we use the 4th to keep the cat litter boxes in. (Okay, it is technically also a study and sewing room, but mostly, cat litter.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

We have three bedrooms, which we call the bedroom, the office, and the sub-office. Although the office and sub-office are largely storage rooms. We also have a room that could be turned into a bedroom fairly easily. That's our guest room.

We also have three bathrooms plus a powder room for two people. Although one of the bathrooms is next to the guest room, so it's almost more of a guest suite.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had great plans to have a nice guest room, but in 3 years I have yet to re-do one piece of furniture for it. Maybe that needs to be my summer goal, get some of the furniture projects completed. I have:

2 patio chairs
2 barstools
a bed
a dresser
a vanity
and a side table

all that need stripping and re-painting, or at least sanding and re-painting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My apartment is a studio, so I have zero bedrooms. Or 0.5? I have taken to referring to the combined living room/bedroom space as the "alpha quadrant."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, wasn't there another B&B that was on the Haight but sort of on the way to the Toronado?

There was a beautifully restored Victorian B&B going that way, but I don't think it's in business anymore. I think I probably pointed it out to you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

We have three bedrooms: one for us, one for Rose, and a guest bedroom/office/nonfiction wing. None of the rooms are huge, but they fit everything we need them to. I think we'd be OK with another kid in this house, but if we have two more I think that would be tough. I don't mind the thought of my kids sharing bedrooms, but we also need space for a desk for M (who works from home a lot) at the very least, plus we would have to seriously rethink how/where we keep our books.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I would love to have 4 bedrooms - one for us, one for each kid, and one guest room / rec room. Right now we have 2 which is fine for a 6 and 2.5 year-old, but at some point I'm going to have a teenage boy who won't want to share a room with his baby sister anymore.
