Bye Bye Bedroom, Hello Multi-Purpose Room

Months ago, when my relationship was a bit on the rocks, we moved into the living room to sleep. First, we didn't want to sleep together. Second, it was more comfortable in the living room what with the TV there and the brightness of the morning sun. Third, the air was always stuffy in the bedroom. For these reasons and since we'd at least be living out the remainder of our lease together, we decided to change the bedroom into another living room, sort of an office area, where we can go to be a part from each other and get some privacy. At this point, we put up an ad to sell the bed.

Since then, we've repaired our broken hearts (for the most part, anyways); we've gained air conditioning which only works in the bedroom and we now sleep there again. The question remained, what do we do now that the bed will be sold? Do we maintain it as a bedroom by buying a different bed? Or do we stick with the original plan?

I like the idea of having a second, usable room, as I'm planning to have a private practice of teaching English there in the fall. It can be a retreat from each other and a practical space for my career. As a result, with the bed gone, we've looked into yet another piece of furniture from IKEA (to add to our already catalogue-ish apartment furnished by this wonderful store), a sofabed that will fold up during the day and pull out at night.

I look forward to going there to read, to teach and to be alone. However, now begs the question: Should I put in a TV? :)
