Title: Guitar Lounge Disaster
Post by: bob_d on December 23, 2006, 02:49:34 PM
Yes, it's true. There has been a disaster in my Guitar Lounge just weeks after it finally started to take shape. The disaster is unfolding even as I type. In anticipation of Christmas guests my wife has imposed upon my man space with the request, no DEMAND, that I provide space for a BED in my Guitar Lounge!!!

Fortunately the problem is temporary, and there is a bright side; If I complain too much or otherwise irritate the powers that be I can always occupy the bed that's now in my Guitar Lounge rather than my usual corner of the dog house!

But I really don't mind. It's all for a good cause!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Beds are good for piling guitar cases on...   :laughin:

I am going to confide in you guys - I am building a "guitar lounge" as an extension to my house.  Only, to my wife I refer to it as a fifth bedroom!

Bob,

If it any consolation, you are not alone :arrow My kids have all recently moved away or at college and I just about finished converting a bedroom into my own guitar/music room.  I am on vacation until after New Years and was looking forward to spending a great deal of quality time enjoying it. Just found out yesterday that a neice is coming to visit for the week and will be sleeping on a cot in the guitar room. But its only temporary. This too will pass....

Here's a picture of the guitar wall.

That way you get a couch/bed for your Guitar Lounge and the best of both worlds.  :bgrin: :thumb

The futons look good, SR, but the bed is already here and covered with guitar cases, Randy. But it's only temporary. I've been assured that after the holidays the bed is going to that big mattress showroom in the sky and we'll be looking for a fold out option that will easily fit in another room.

Nice guitar wall, JC. I'm sure your neice will enjoy it during her stay.  :winkin:

Hal, NEVER speak the true name of the fifth bedroom or you risk facing the same encroachments on your guitar lounge!

I can't sleep without a bed.  I better make sure either I never get in a dog house, or she can go to her mothers.  The bed is MINE!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe, just make sure your stay overs understand that your guitars "are fragile instruments prone to <add anything dangerous>" so no one touches them.

They'll all be safely locked in their cases, Calvin, but thanks for the reminder.  :winkin:
