    Just be wary of the fact that as some point she will come home and demand to know what you've done to "her" room...

    As matty suggested, a bar would be nice, but why not incorporate the bar with a nice big TV / projector and sound system and sofa to chill out on (assuming the room is big enough)

    In regards to the room, whack a stage in the corner and install a pole from the roof to the floor.

    Re: Today is a good day :)

    And it's only now I realised I read the title and responded to that, and not the actual post....

    Sorry! lol

    Anyhow, with regards to the room, your basics are obviously double bed, wardrobe, PC desk and chair. Beyond those I'd suggest light colours, with some darker detailing, had a room once that was 3 white walls with red paintwork and a bright red wall with white paintwork for the other, looked absolutely awesome with the light coloured furnature we had.


    Mini-bar and beanbag chairs are still fun IMO

    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?

    Well done on the weight loss Lucio, & congrats on the room Behemoth - now there's less of you these days, even more room for computers - win win.

    I'm still loosing the weight too, that said this last week I've had a few slip ups (ooops)

    My poor car, it has never been so loaded up with stuff since I've had it. When taking my sisters stuff and the brother in laws stuff the rear wheels were in the arches !
