    We've just moved into a big old house and have 6 :eek: spare bedrooms, but they were all earmarked for other purposes before we moved in.

    1: Laundry room (has boiler in and previous owner kept ironing board etc in there, which I intend to do even though mine only comes out once a year :D)
    2: Double guest room - going to put my big wardrobes in too
    3: Currently the cat's room but will eventually be my 'girly' room for make up, hair straighteners, etc (I am envisioning a counter along one wall and huge mirror with golf ball lights!)
    4: Twin guest room
    5: My library - tons of books still in boxes atm
    6: OH's music room, when he brings all his guitars and amps up form his mum's. May need a bit of soundproofing first...

    It may be a while before we actually get these room as we want them, but I can't wait! :)

  • We have 3 and a half (boxroom) spare rooms, the boxroom is the 'graveyard of great promises' this has everything I have bought when I have promised to be good! Treadmill, tennis rackets, exercise bike, sewing machine (I got an idea to make my own curtains - don't ask!). I love my three guest rooms, they are nicer than my own room we have them themed, there's have an african room, a mediterranean room and a chinese room!
