I've been spending lots of time in the guest room and I have to say it's really a soothing room. Mostly because of the nice view and the warm sunshine (east and south exposures). I've decided that as few guests as I have, and the fact that when I do, they usually only spend one night, I'm going to do a major change. I'm going to get rid of the bed (the mattress is almost brand new - hopefully I can find someone who wants it) tear out the carpet, take off the wall paper, paint, get an area rug and a sleeper sofa, put my stereo and my old recliner in there and make it a music room/den. No TV. It's the warmest room in the house. The woodwork is pink, so that's going to have to be painted and none of it can be done until the cat is healed and I can let him out of there, but I really think I'm going to like it. I won't have a "real" guest room, but I will have a sleeper sofa in there. That should be good enough
