Current situation: Me - no kids, two cats, three bedroom semi (bedroom, dressing room, room full of junk, I work from home but from my kitchen table). Him - DS13, one dog, four bed detached (bedroom, DS room, spare room for guests - needed, DS room where he plays on PlayStation, he also works from home but has a dedicated area downstairs, we couldn't work in the same room)
We would very much like to move in together but obviously it would be better to have a trial period first than to take the plunge - he's done this before and just bought together and it didn't work out. As he has the bigger house it makes sense that I would temporarily move into his. We've discussed what would happen after that and have agreed on a future budget and that we would look for a six bed house with an appropriate budget if it works out...
Thing is, I have SO much stuff. I'm trying to sort out as much as possible and get rid of what I can, and I understand we should probably put my furniture in storage (although he prefers my interior design so maybe it will be the opposite) but it's more my clothes, shoes, etc. Plus I really value my own space.
I wondered if I could appropriate the spare room and have a sofa bed in the gaming room for guests but I just don't know if it would be big enough for all my stuff and a home office!
Any creative suggestions would be very welcome...
