They feel like orphans. It use to be my daughter's bedroom. The other bedroom is our computer room and my husband's room he uses to get ready for work...he's a railroader and carries a lot of things and wears a lot of clothes. But, my kids can't get over the fact that I love sewing so much that I took out the bedroom. Even though I put them up in a nice hotel.
