My Studio Couch & Storage Room...

A few years ago - I inherited a couch.  It came as a big surprise.  

Apparently many years ago when visiting this friend -

 I had mentioned how neat I thought her 'couch' was.

  It was unique with no sides or back in the most

 wonderful brocade fabric.  

I barely remember that conversation - but she remembered.

She contracted cancer and decided she wanted me to have her 

'studio couch' upon her death.  Oh my -how does one accept such a gift?

We weren't even related.

But she had the unique gift of giving - and accept her gift I did.

I moved it to my 'overflow' room.  A room that had

just become empty because my daughter moved out.   

It's my 'play' room - and inventory storage room.

And although not properly decorated - 
I'm going to give you a tour anyway.  

The music stand is my daughter's; waiting for her to

 reclaim it when she has the space...

 The crib was a too good a deal to pass up ($25 I think).  

And after I worked so hard to find a mattress for it and cover it - 

I'm having trouble parting with it - so here it is...

 More treasures and leftovers from other rooms reside in the corner...

 There are actually 2 rooms here - but one will do for today...

The dress belonged to my grandmother - her wedding dress.  

I never knew her, nor did my mother - but maybe I'll

 save that story for another post...

 A few more goodies reside in the dormer...

 ...and we're back to the studio couch niche.  

 And guess what?

Just yesterday - for the first time - someone slept on my little couch.
And they liked it!  I can't tell you how good that felt.
Maybe my storage room can be a guest room too!

After all - memories live here - good memories.  
And I'm thinking that's what makes a room after all.  Blessings to you!~Joyce
