“Well, hello there, guest(s). Welcome to your room!”
This is something I look forward to saying in the near future. Jason and I quickly put together our guest room so that those we love will have a comfy place to stay upon their arrival to Northwest Arkansas. We anticipate our first houseguest to be Jason’s mother, as she is scheduled to spend four days with us in March. We also expect Jason’s grandfather to visit in April, during his trek to Indiana. You may have noticed a trend here, all scheduled houseguests are part of Jason’s family. So, come on Jen’s family! (wink wink, nudge nudge)
In order to entice those we love to bring on the suitcases, let me take you on a brief tour.
Upon entering the room, the wall to your right is full of black and white photos. They provide a soothing introduction into the room. Feel the enticement…aaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Allowing your gaze to move around to the left, you will see the guest bed/great place to sit upon with your laptop, or a book.
The bed is a purchase from DWR – thanks to their super convenient sleeper sale in January! The bolster adjusts to three different positions and the top mattress folds onto the floor to make a bed just a hair bigger than a queen size mattress. So, couples will sleep well – all comfy and cozy.
As you can see, Cosby loves it.
Our guest room also moonlights as our office area. We have our desk and desktop computer in this room as well. The desk is a great place for our dinosaurs to roam. Raaaaahhhhhrrrrrrr!
Don’t worry, they are very quiet at night, as they mostly read or listen to light jazz tunes on the radio.
My grandfather’s globe also resides in the office/guest room, as it sat in his home office for many years.
One day I would like to have a large map in this room where those that stay with us can pinpoint where they live via thumbtacks. For now, Cosby enjoys this room the most. However, he stated that he will gladly share the space with any that come this way.
I am really excited to have our first guest, and have many more – it’s such a great space!
Honestly, you need to refer to that room as Cosby’s room. I think he has already decided it is his.
And green is his color. :P
