Dear PoP – Should We Combine Small Bedrooms into a Large one?

“Dear PoP,

My husband and I have been working on our Petworth fixer-upper for six months now and it’s decision time. We have two medium size bedrooms and two small size bedrooms upstairs (with two baths too). We are trying to decide whether we should combine one of the medium bedrooms with a smaller one to make a master suite (with en suite bathroom), or keep the walls as they are as we renovate. What’s a better investment over time for the value of our house? Four bedrooms or three bedrooms including master suite?

Would be curious to see what you and your readers think.”

Great question! I’d vote for combining one of the small bedrooms into a master suite. But I’m looking forward to hearing how folks think that will affect the property value.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
