Room switch

One thing we wanted to get done before Dave's second foot surgery was to switch two rooms in our house.  One Sunday afternoon, we let the kids watch some of their favorite shows and we got to work.  The plan was to switch the locations of the guest room and Dave's office.  So Dave's office goes upstairs to the old guest room location and the guest room becomes the basement room.  We had a few guests arriving over the next month so we thought it would be nicer if guests had their own "floor" and their own dedicated bathroom.  After taking measurements, it was nice to find out that the downstairs room is only a foot shorter in length and the same width as the first guest bedroom.  Not much smaller and Dave's office location gained a foot in length.  It was not easy moving heavy furniture.  Dressers, end tables, a (very heavy) queen bed, and a crib were moved out of a room and Dave's big desk was moved upstairs along with all his office equipment.  A few hours later the room switch was complete, and it felt "right".  The guest room looked so cozy and comfortable - and it was nice to have Dave's office location right next to our bedroom. 

Jeff and Denise Winters (and Nicole, Michael and Zachary) stayed with us the night of Fri, Dec 20 and enjoyed having a space to themselves.  Shawn and Kim Thompson also stayed with us New Year's Eve and said they liked the spot too.  I put the heated blanket on the bed that Mama Row gave us so it can be warm and toasty in the bed if a guest wanted it.
