Bedroom basement gets facelift

Today we got the downstairs bedroom cleaned out so that we can rip up the carpet and put down laminate. We have the laminate that used to be in my parents' living room before they got the new hardwood floor. Hopefully it will be enough. While we moving stuff around and I got to thinking that a good use for the space at the base of the stairs would be a bedroom. It is really awkward for any other use. We would have to build one wall and rip out the panelling and replace it with drywall. If we did that and replaced the other basement bedroom's window we will have increased the number of bedrooms from 2 to 4. Maybe we will do that. Then we could use the upstairs bedroom which is a bit small as an office/sewing room/whatever. That is all a couple years off probably. Too bad I am bad at waiting.
