[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- Where do your overnights guests sleep? 
(And who are the overnights: parents, friends, etc.?)
- If you have a dedicated guest room, what is the size in comparison to the kids' bedrooms? (Guest room is smaller, bigger, etc.)
- Is the guest room dedicated solely as a guest bedroom? What furniture is on it?
- Based on the above, is the guest sleeping area not a dedicated bedroom? If so, where, and on what do overnight guests sleep?
- Do any of your kids (permanently) share a bedroom?
- Do any of your kids bunk up during guests' visits?

I am trying to work this out in my home and I welcome ideas.

We have a 3-bedroom house, and one child. The extra room is the smallest room, and doubles as an office and guest room. There's a queen sized bed pushed up against the wall, with a 2-drawer filing cabinet doubling as a night stand, and a desk next to the night stand. There's a small bookshelf housing books and also our "in-box" for bills and other miscellaneous household paperwork. Also, there's a spare dining room chair in there for lack of anywhere else to put it (but is useful as a suitcase rack). When my parents come, I can push the bed from the wall so it comes out diagonally from the corner, so neither has to crawl over the other to get in/out of bed. I also tidy up the desk and stash the bills etc. in the closet when they come. It's a pretty tight space, but perfectly useful, neat, private, and better than the couch.

When I was a kid, I'd sleep in my brother's room or on the couch, while the guests took my room.

If we had the money, I'd love to have a murphy bed built in to the wall to create more space.[/quote]
