I like that thought. Here, we have three rooms and Liebling's room is about 1/4 the size of the other two bedrooms. Of course, that means that Liebs and Stormy could have the same sized room, but then DH and I would need bunk beds. But who wouldn't want that?
We're currently thinking that when we need Stormy to have a separate room to us, we'll convert part of the loft for Liebling. Who may well be at boarding school anyway at that point. And I can see how that is completely an option for you too LOL.
Hmmmm, interesting..... Do let us know what you decide....
I have pondered this for when #2 comes along (after they've shared with DH and I awhile ), but there'll be an almost 4 year age gap. I wonder whether DS will be too set in his ways to want to share. Like Zazou, DS only wants to be where we are, so a playroom is useless atm. All these reasons not to share, but I still think it'd be nice for them.... And DS can talk someone else's ear off in the middle of the night instead of his 3-4 nightly visits to tell us he's lonely!
We done have the playroom, but have the spare bedroom/sewing/storage room instead, which does work as a playroom as they girls do sometimes head there to play or get away from each other.
The girls are fine together in the one room, only wardrobe space is a problem now which DH is going to rectify with some shelf mods
I completely understand where you're coming from on the different room sizes. DDs 1 and 2 currently share a room through their choice (thank goodness given that DD3's arrival meant that my work from home DH still has an office), but when the time comes that they want their own room, their rooms are a good 40% bigger than DD3's and that seriously bugs me too. Stupid, especially given that DD3's room is still a big room, but I really like equality for the kids. To my mind you never no what things will affect them, whether they realise its affecting them or not ITMS.
We currently have as I said above shared bedroom for DDs 1 and 2, single for DD3, and a toy room. We're in the process of designing a new house and I am very close to tossing the idea of a toy room completely. There are big advantages to a toy room - separate space for the kids, close the door on it etc - but I also dislike the way it segregates the family. So, I guess in your position for the time being I would probably move your treadmill, bike etc into the back room, have some toys in there that the kids can use while you're in there, but make it an "everybody" room, rather than just a kid room
