We just bought a 2800 sf single story on a half acre that we are partially converting to an office/classroom/sample room for my business and my wife's business (I'm a Firearms Instructor, she's an Interior Designer).
We have a large kitchen/living area that we've designated the "No Work Area", and have two large empty rooms that we are considering making into guest rooms for family and friends when they come to visit.
We just had our first party there, a wine tasting party for friends, employees, and business associates. It was a rousing success.
After everyone had left, we were sitting in the back yard, having a glass of wine, when the discussion turned to having small parties for our Lifestyle friends. We both think it's very doable, and will start working out the details.
We'll let you know how it turns out.
