I guess TV marketing has changed. We bought our Gardenia in 2013. It was built in 2007. It was called a 2 bedroom + den.

Of course, you can use it for a bedroom. You can use it for anything you want. But to be an official bedroom — in most places — it needs to have a closet.

And, now, I must digress. It is my curse to do so. . .

Up north where there are basements, people sometimes put what they call bedrooms there. . .

But where I come from, code requires a bedroom to have a window — and for a basement bedroom, not just any window — has to be a window big enough for a fully-equipped firefighter to get through. . .

A single (divorced) friend of mine, who has a whole big house to herself, had such a window put into her basement for a bedroom she did not need. . .

I suspect she is waiting for that fully-equipped firefighter (like the ones on calendars) to come through.
