I didn't answer the poll because it's more complicated than that. We moved in December into a 4 bedroom house. Baby #4 arrived in March. Currently ds1 (5 years) and ds2 (2 years) share a room. Dd (7 years) has her own room, it's the smallest room. Dh and I are in the matter along with the baby. She is currently sleeping in the co sleeper next to our bed and naps in her crib in our closet (which is almost as big as dd1's room). The plan is for the baby to stay in our room/closet for at least 1-2 years. The 4th bedroom currently has a queen bedroom set (large dresser, high narrow dresser, two night stands, and queen bed), along with a file cabinet and two tables that have my sewing machines on them. The closet is full of some of my fabric.
We used it as a guest room while we were in the hospital and I was having baby #4 (2 nights). My parents stayed art our house with the other kids. And currently during the week dh is sleeping in there and I'm in our room with the baby. That way he gets a decent night sleep and gets up an hour or so before me to get the other kids ready for school 2-3 days a week. He needs to be well rested for work and if I need to I can nap when the younger two nap while the older ones are at school.
Now the plan is that once the baby is sleeping longer at night dh will come back in and we'll get rid of the bedroom set.
My parents live 25 minutes away, dh's parts live 12 minutes away, my sister and bil currently are living with my parents. Dh's sisters live in Colorado and come out to visit once every couple years. Dh's parents get cranky when they stay with us instead of them - which everyone would rather stay with us since my in-laws house is gross.
I sew a lot and dh claimed the office in this house. After discussing it we decided that I should get to use the room the way I want since I use it in a daily basis. The plan is that once we sell our old house we will start the process of building out our very unfinished basement. The plan is to put a workout room, guest room, media room, wine cellar, sewing/craft room, and possibly something else down there. Then I would move my stuff siren there and we'd shift the kids around upstairs. Currently all bedrooms have bathrooms, the boys have a shower, the rest have showers and bath tubs.
I am in no hurry to have a real guest room, since my mil threatened that they would come live with us when they remodel their house. And my marriage would not survive that.
