Cleaning House

My on-call status ended Friday at 5P AND this is my weekend off! YAY!
I got up today and read my favorite blogs, took my daughter to cheerleading practice, came home and took a 5 hour nap! It felt so good!

I threw most of my furniture away sometime last year and have been slowly re-placing it. The only thing I haven't thrown out is my bedroom furniture. I plan on doing that tomorrow. Then I will clean and paint the room.
I want twin beds in the room and a dresser. Nothing else.
My parents still have mine and my younger sisters childhood twin beds. My dad offered them to me. I think they will be perfect!

I'm considering opening up the entrance between my kitchen and dining room. Right now it's the size of a regular doorway. I'd like to have a huge archway, or maybe even knock the wall completely out, and just have one large room.Both rooms are only 12x10 (or something close to that). I'm also thinking about pulling up my wall to wall carpeting. I have beautiful hardwood floors underneath the carpet. I'm just not sure how much work it takes to care for hardwood floors. So we'll see.

Nap? That's more sleep than I get on a regular night. I'm so jealous!

Why twin beds? There's nothing like sleeping diagonal on a king. And you'll still have space for a lover and the kitties.

Wood floors aren't too bad to upkeep but it'll be a job and a half bringing them back to life after you pull up that carpet. The wall really isn't that hard as long as it isn't load bearing.

Glenn,
What if the wall is "load bearing".......can it still be done?

I love my king size bed....but it's too big for my bedroom...i feel cramped

A load bearing wall is one that helps support the roof or structures above. It can still be taken out but you will need some support like pillars or something like that.

You understand that a king is basically two twins pushed together right? So if you're trying to save actual square footage, you probably won't have much of a gain with twins. Maybe go with a double or queen instead.

I thought 2 twin beds would be the size of a full size bed. Darn
