Visitors Welcome!

So when I moved into my house I decided to make my second room more of an office than a guest room. This was largely because I didn't have a second bed but also because I felt that it was more important to have a room that was functional to me most of the time rather than my (periodic) guests (no offense).

So I set up my desk and sewing machine in there and organized my books on various book shelves. Eventually the room also became Buster's to a certain extent. I'd find his toys in there and him rolling around on the rug just for fun.

I've thought about this second room a lot and fantasized about what I'd do to make this room better. I just didn't like how hodgepodge it was and realized that I wasn't using the room very often; if ever.

Then Chris and Missy got pregnant. And one of their guest rooms will turn into Baby Sileo #2's room. Insert guest room.

They were generous enough to provide me their guest bed and linens and after some help from friends transporting and rebuilding it, my guest room is coming together.

I gave my desk to Kelsey (I was happy to know it was going to a good home) and made a trip to Ikea where I got a new rug, curtains, a matching blanket and some other pieces to pull this room together.

It still needs some work but I'm really enjoying it and I'm not even the one who will use it! I like knowing, for the first time ever, I can adequately host people. I don't have to pull out the air mattress or sleep on my couch or give up my bedroom. So, come one, come all (well only a few of you) to Casa Sileo for a visit. The only thing you should be aware of is that Buster still thinks it's his room and you may have to share the bed with him.

And this is just because she's so adorable!!
