What and where is your favourite room?<\/h2>\n

My favourite room is the guestroom in our new home in Windsor<\/a>, Ont., which was purchased when my partner and I moved in together and blended our families. I have a 12-year-old daughter and he has a 13-year-old son.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What was the inspiration behind creating the room?<\/h2>\n

Having moved from Toronto<\/a>, we wanted a space that allowed us to invite our friends and family to stay with us comfortably. We wanted our guests to feel they could have their own space with all the necessities, much like a hotel room. We achieved this by transforming a room with an ensuite bathroom and creating a hotel-style mini-bar complete with a stocked fridge, kettle for coffee or tea, and snacks (no charge!).\u00a0<\/p>\n
