Hot Take: You Don't Need A Guest Room.
I loathe having unused spaces in my house. It's why I don't have a big house. Though I could argue 2000 square feet is still big - especially for one person. Still, I don't like having dead spaces in my house. Places I don't go into at least a few times a week and use. So I am thinking of 86-ing the guest room. Such a boring vibe of a room, right? (Despite George's big smile.) I have an old house. It's about 84 years old. There are still original parts of the house - such as the floors. (And until four years ago, the pipes were still original.) And because the house is so old, and has a crawl space underneath it, I dislike not bringing current active energy into every part of the house... Infusing the space with the living... And having a guest room that gets used only in emergencies when someone needs to stay in Tucson or someone needs a room once a year to visit... It feels like a misuse of the space. A disrespect to it, really. And if I do ever have guests...
