My mother passed in October 2018. Her home is on the same property as ours. My husband has an office in our home which is packed floor to ceiling with his stuff. The only thing I go in there for is to use the "big" computer (vs. the iPad). I have some rental buildings and needed a place to meet new tenants. The financial folks said it was fine to use her house for my office space. So now I have a place to meet tenants, but also a place that can hold any guests (2BR 2baths). I go down there to sew in the kitchen. Some friends come to have lunch once a month, but we eat in the DR. I have quickly become spoiled with more space. P.S. Hubs also has an air-conditioned garage, so he can't complain! We are very blessed and know and appreciate it.
