It's one of those things... Build it and they will come.
Dan, MIL, Friend-who-only-calls-when-he-wants something...
Bizzeee, I say!
What? Oh, it's our guest room. Add a couple of nice prints, a decent bed, a yellow chair... voilá! You have instant guests.
In 2004 alone we've had guests using the room on 6 occasions for a total of 33 nights of use. I'm probably low-balling it a bit, but the brain ain't working before the coffee kicks in.
Our buddy Dan stopped by for a weekend, the Mom-in-Law has been over a couple times for late-night babysitting, an East Coast friend who only calls when he needs something and still owes me a few hundred bucks stopped by on a cross-country drive with his cousin. You get the idea...
Like I said, build it, put a picture online, and they will arrive. I'm thinking of building a hotel reservation system for the room.
Just thought it was interesting to look back and determine whether it was a good idea to spend time painting and adding lights and generally fixing up a guest room for people, or if we should have turned it into an office or something.
Huh. Who knew?
Here's a picture of the Toulouse Lautrec Guest Room.
Posted by BilFish at August 27, 2004 07:42 AMI would like to book the room for a week in the month of December. I thought I should make my reservation early since the room has become such a hot property. Are you selling time share?
