During this very busy week of visiting, partying and eating way too many goodies (Christmas cookies for breakfast, anyone?) we have planned to spend a day cleaning up the room we want to use as our home office. In addition to keeping our old financial files in this room, my husband has a desk and computer to run his software business. 
And there's an old, indestructible, Formica-topped kitchen table in there so the kids can do school projects involving glue, glitter, paint and clay. It's great to have a place for things like that.
The room also houses my literature books from grad school, my husband's many computer-programming books (most of which were out-of-date at the time of publication) and his college science textbooks, an electronic keyboard and a whole bunch of toys the kids don't play with anymore.
Some of that stuff has to go. Actually, most of that stuff has to go. And it'll be nice to have an office space where there's actually some space! It's time to make room for small business (and school projects. There's nowhere else in the house to do those.)
