What I Did To My Living Room
July 26, 2022 | 3 min read
As we are downsizing for our great adventure, we recently moved into a small rental home...from a 5,000 square foot house.
This presented me with a major problem. My master bedroom furniture no longer fit the room!

Another thing that I noticed was that the ceiling in the master bedroom was now at like, 9 feet.
If the bed is 3 feet off the ground, then that means my nose is like 4 feet from the ground?
I know it was my idea to sell everything we own and go live on a boat on the Mediterranean. Smaller space, I get that.
But, this isn't the Mediterranean. I'd like to not have the ceiling fan so close to my face.

You all know I have unique problem solving skills.
So I found myself thinking, I have a brilliant idea!
After all, it's just us, the kids are grown, we don't entertain guests at the house...that's what the boat's for.

And so...this is now the bedroom.
Yes, in the living room.
I wondered if others might find this odd, but so far all the feedback has been very positive.
I mean, how many people wish they could have a fireplace in their bedroom?
Bam... problem solved.
Now I can feel all that warmth, luxury and ambiance.

Sometimes it's not just lower ceilings in a master bedroom, but maybe less lighting or fewer windows.
But look at this.
Living rooms usually have larger windows, more windows, or both.
I know not everyone has this same layout for a 2-story, but they ARE out there.
And if you are lucky enough to live in one of them...
Look at this. Look at all this space, all this view. All the natural light.

I'm such a fan of long-gazing.
If you haven't heard of that yet, you should GOOGLE IT AND CHECK IT OUT.
Long-gazing is a great way to calm your autonomic nervous system…
So now when I wake up, that's my view.
And at night, I can see the moon right up there.

Just think of all the possible benefits. This is a nice, big open space.
You don't feel closed in. It feels like you can breathe easier. It's so good for your mind.

So what became of the original "master bedroom"?
The master is now the gym!
Isn't it wonderful?
I have my elliptical,
I do yoga here,
weights (etc).
It's the perfect set up!

I know it's different. Maybe a little weird.
But I highly recommend, if you're able to do so.
Is this something you'd think about doing?
Are you planning it in your head already?
Is it all crazy-talk?
I'll be here happily enjoying my view.
Let me know what you think and drop a comment.
