So 5 years ago I posted asking about guest room ideas: https://windsorpeak.com/vbulletin/sh...est-room-ideas
Back then, it was mostly my mom who would come up to visit once a month for the weekend. Well, the month before the Covid lockdowns started, my mom lost her full time job as a dental lab tech and had been staying with us since she had some interviews out here. Once the quarantine went into place I told her to just stay here instead of quarantining alone in San Diego in her tiny 1 bedroom apartment. So here we are, 5 months later, with no end in sight (CA is still pretty locked down). After paying rent on an empty apartment for 5 months we've decided that she'll give up her apartment and just stay with us till this is over and she can get a job again (no one is hiring in her field right now). She'll move out of her apartment for good in 3 weeks.
So I'm looking for more guest room ideas for a permanent guest now. I basically added everyone's ideas from my previous thread (blackout shades, nightstands with table lamps, a coffee station, full length mirror) and we just got rid of the futon and replaced it with a regular full bed. Just last week I realized there was no hamper in the guest room and she had her dirty clothes in a laundry bag on the floor! So I just got her a real hamper today. She's also been living out of her toiletry bag in the bathroom and I obviously need to empty out one of the 6 bathroom drawers for her to put her stuff (she's sharing the bathroom with the boys). At the beginning of the lockdown I added a narrow 5 drawer dresser to the closet for her to have somewhere to put her clothes and not have to live out of her suitcase. What else am I missing? Everyone had such great ideas in the last thread.
