[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP, thanks to everyone for your replies, some of you gave me ideas I hadn’t thought about!  To respond to a few points -

- The smaller bedrooms wouldn’t work as guest rooms, they’re pretty narrow and would fit only a full-sized bed at best.

- It’s a good-sized house, but limited on # rooms.  Also, I’m not thinking of using the third bedroom only for guests; I’d have the kids use it as their shared space the 95% of the time that we don’t have guests.

- I’m not an evil mom who wants to traumatize DD by ripping out the girly built-ins lol.  The built-ins only work for bedroom use and I was thinking they’d be a sore reminder to her of how much she wanted the room for herself.  And I figured it’d make more sense to completely redo the room to fit the use, i.e. guest/playroom.

- I said from the get-go that DD would not get the girly bedroom.  But DD kept asking, and DH eventually said well, maybe.

I really appreciate the suggestions, I’m going to see if we can somehow rework some of the girly built-ins in one of the smaller bedrooms.  But if we can’t, and DD doesn’t get over not getting the bigger bedroom, I’ll suggest to her redoing her room the way she wants.  I think she would be THRILLED, and this would be a great compromise.[/quote]

Given what you say, I would focus on the sticking to the plan. The larger room is the kids' hangout space, and let BOTH kids become invested in decorating it. [/quote]
