I feel the urge to clarify a few things so others do not think that I am an asshole, though many think so at work and at home, just ask my wife from time to time.
We have a 2 storey, 2,500 sf home, the basement is partially finished with a 10 x 13 room and an adjacent 3 piece bath, all available to her use, and only her use, the rest of the space is not unfinished, storage area basically.
She will have complete access to the main floor kitchen for all her meals, including late night snacks if she feels like it, however, I will put a small fridge (the ones from university) and a microwave if case if she just wants something to drink at night, or some instant noodle or frozen TV dinner (or whatever) if she does not feel like coming upstairs in her PJ or disturb our privacy afterhours. I do plan on having meals with her (if she wants to) and will provide food for all meals, but if she wants perrier everyday, well that's on her own account.
I was leaning towards the double of course it is more comfortable for an adult (although she is from Phillipines and is about 95 pounds!) but will be a wee bit tight in the room given other furnishings, but having heard from all, I think I will still go with a double bed.
So, who's go to do at Mirage? I have tried Peyton, Candy and Kareena, who should I do next?
Well yeah, that sounds totally reasonable. Especially the part about having her own bathroom (that for health reasons is more of a concern than food storage).
An option that you might want to talk to her about (if you're in communication with her about this) is to think about a sofa bed or even a futon. This way she can have seating if she wants to read or watch tv then open 'er up for bedtime. And if she doesn't want to open it up (like a futon) she can sleep on it in the sofa position.
Is the basement finished from the stairs to the room? This would make it less like she was going down into the basement but more like going down to her apartment. Just one other thing: does her room have a window? By building code any bedroom must have access to daylight......
