WWYD? Dining room to office
We are having some issues deciding where to put the nursery. My office is currently across the hall from our bedroom. Upstairs is SS's room and H's studio. We originally thought to put the nursery upstairs and moving his studio in with my office downstairs. I don't think sharing an office is going to work. So... we have our dining room which we never use. We could easily put my office in there and use my office I have now for the nursery. The only down side is, we wouldn't have a table to eat at. The kitchen isn't big enough for one and generally we eat on the couch.
We could put the table out on the porch, but that would definitely involve installing an AC/heat unit because it gets mighty hot/chilly out there.
So, would you miss your dinner table?
Re: WWYD? Dining room to office
How often do you entertain? Do you ever have family over for Holidays?
I can see it possibly working short term, but for me, I wouldn't do it.
I think I would miss my table too, but it seems like such a waste to just have it unused 99% of the time.
The dining room isn't big enough for both my desk and the table. And, then I would really have to keep my desk tidy in case we had people over for dinner.
Meh. I think the table going into the porch will work out okay. We have a loveseat our there now, but we can move that into the dining room I guess. This is really bothering me. I'm so lame.
I work from home, so my office is my office. Therefore a cubby wont work.
Here is the porch I am referring to.
Oh! Duh! Good point! I think it is very cozy out there and it has a lot of character and charm. I think I am going to run this plan by my H tonight. The best part is that when we grill out, people can be "together" for the most part and don't have to walk through the garage or the family room to get to the kitchen.
Thanks for talking through my crazy. lol
I will. I'm excited now. I think this is the best solution for us. H gets to keep his studio, the baby will be right across the hall from our bedroom and I get to keep my table for Thanksgiving. (I'm hosting this year, or at least that was the plan before I was going to be 8 months pregnant.)
Right! We barely run heat in our house. We mainly use the fireplace. We love it!
We don't use it right now because all the old doors from the house are stacked out there and it gets ungodly hot. That and I have been too dang tired to even think about having people over.
