I turned it into a craft room and all my stuff is in boxes or rolling shelves that I can wheel out if needed. We bought a trundle bed set to address the sleeping issue! So when it's a "craft room" there is a single bed with a 2nd single tucked under it. I use this to sit on or stack projects on. When it's a "guest Room" a single person can sleep as is, but if you have a couple over, the 2nd bed pops up to the same level as the first and we now have king size bed. We also considered a Murphy Bed - I would google both Murphy bed and trundle bed to see what you get. have fun with the paint, great colors!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613205343213849713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-3162026345986881552007-07-18T15:56:00.000-05:002007-07-18T15:56:00.000-05:00dml, that's great.

I stepped out of my comfort zone here... and even went against the norm and painted the bottom half of the room white. I love (and still love) the end result. Can't wait to see what you do.
