This week I am glamping (glam+camping) in the guest room so my husband can get some sleep.
Our guest room was originally my son's nursery when we moved into this house 26 years ago. His crib sat where the bed is now. He grew up in this room then took over the entire upstairs when his sister moved out. She moved back home with millions of other kids during the Great Recession and into this room since her brother claimed her larger one. Eventually everyone moved out and I claimed the entire upstairs in Project Empty Nest 2013.
When I was finished the guest room looked clutter free and clean.
When my son got his first solo apartment I made several contributions from this room so it was looking a little drab. I'd been so focused on the guest cottage this room had been neglected, but it bothered me every day as I walked by it.

Recently at IKEA I found this duvet cover I'd been looking at for a long time marked down to half off. They only had the king size but the wonderful thing about owning a sewing machine is that sizes for things that have straight seems and simple shapes don't matter so much. I stitched a seam to make it a full size and trimmed the excess.

Very little was purchased. Mostly things were just moved around to freshen it up. And just in time for me to use it to rest and recover.
From a workout.
That sounds so lame.
