Clue #2: We Lost One
We’re making good on our clue-a-day promise to slowly reveal pictures and details about the major home improvement undertaking that’s currently in progress here at Casa Petersik. You may remember that our first clue was that we had to take our Christmas tree down a full week early, and we’re back with our second clue of the week: where’d the guest bedroom go?
We had to clear out the entire room (closet included) to proceed with our project. Any ideas? Hit us with your best guess. And stay tuned for three more clues over the next three days that will lead up to the big reveal on Monday…

I just found your blog. JUST! I can’t believe I’ve been without it all this time. I can’t wait for the big reveal. Is it a nursery!??!
ok…I already guessed blowing out the wall. NOW i am going to take a gander at blowing out the ceiling and having beams (which I would love to watch, as it is what we talk about doing in our kitchen and family room)
I’m thinking floors, but a nursery would be delightful. I’m imagining the floors stained darker for more contrast. Though, I’d have to say Sherry has been looking way too svelte for that??
It must be the floors…why else would you be cleaning out entire rooms? Prepare yourself…wood floor refinishing is a process!
Well, in Canada, “We lost one” could mean a kid, a dog, or a digit lost to cold. Since you have no kids, and Burger is accounted for (I’m assuming), and it’s not cold enough where you live to freeze off a finger or toe, I’m sticking with my answer from yesterday. You’re knocking down a wall to open up living space…and enlarge the bathroom (or maybe add a second one?)
I’m thinking new floors or staining the floor because even if the wall was coming down the tree could go somewhere else in the house.
I have to go with my original gut from yesterday… floors. I, like previous posters, think dark stained floors would be amazing! Whatever it is… best of luck! Can’t wait to see and hear more.
A nursery? If you need any practice time I could loan you one of my boys. They’re sweet, sometimes. Until they scrape a die-cast Tonka tractor across your solid mahogany dresser. So, which one you want? The four year old? How about the three year old? Either way, they’ll both help you guys baby-proof your home.
Hmm…changing the guest room into ginormous His & Her walk-in closets? Oh wait–that’s *my* dream. Well, if you DO do this, I may have to buy your house!
I would guess your blowing out the wall…to do what I am not sure…larger living area, larger bathroom…who knows??
I’m sticking with my guess from yesterday – refinished floors (and you’re being smart and finishing the floors in your closet so you have matching wood if you ever need replacement planks). If you’re going out of town to stay with relatives for the holidays – that’s a perfect time to let the fumes dissipate. :)
I also think you’re blowing out a wall. That was my first thought yesterday and then now you say “you lost one” I think you lost a wall.
I like the nusery idea, but since two rooms are involved – my guess is either a wall is coming down or NEW FLOORS!
Sheesh, they look like they’re only in their mid-twenties, the constant baby speculating might start getting old. Just sayin’.
I’m guessing nursery! And if that is the case- I CAN’T WAIT! I’d love to see some YHL nursery ideas! I’m 22 weeks pregnant and have no idea what to do!!!! Good luck with whatever it is!!
Well I said floors yesterday and I want to say that still… but nursery did pop into my mind. But “we lost one” loses me….
This is too funny, I am sitting up here waiting for the big reveal…but are you getting ready to put your second story on? ..I dunno…cant wait to see what it is though
Merry Christmas Guys
You are losing a closet to make way for bigger master bathroom? Total re-do? Oh I can’t wait to see! :)
A nursery..and you’re going to start posting ultrasound pictures and mock ups of what your baby is going to look like…
My money is on a nursery! If the room is to be finished for the big reveal Monday, wouldn’t think that’d be enough time for new bathroom, kitchen extension etc ??
Turning the guest bedroom into a nursery? Although I’m not sure what the tree would have to do with that…
