Something tells me your husband is trying to gradually convert the guest room into a ->> man cave.

He’s trying.

Daybeds are no longer the white canopy beds of your 6th grade self.

+1 to this. We have a 9x9 room that doubles as the home office/ guest room and my MIL bought us an American leather sofa for that room so she’d have a comfy place to sleep. We thought she was crazy for dropping $5K on it but after trying it out, NOPE. Excellent use of money.

We have a 4 bed house, and our "guest room" is a playroom 99% of the time, with an american leather pull out. It works for us.

We were in an old house with uneven floors. That didn't impact our furniture placement. We just used shims as a work around. Including a shim under a media table with our tv. I was able to get it perfectly level, despite a 2 inch drop over 4 feet.

My guess is the OP has very conservative and basic ideas about how to decorate a house. And their spouse wants to mix things up a bit.


Or OP doesn't care about a tv in the house and doesn't want it to interfere with her decorating plans, regardless of how her husband feels.
