In some homes, it is used as a game room, exercise room or a video room. For us, the rumpus is the place where old furnitures go. At some stage, there were so much pre-loved desks and tables in this room, we nicknamed it the &#8216;Crumpus&#8217;. On the lead-up to this painting project, I managed to sell most of these &#8216;abandoned&#8217; furnitures via eBay. Now, it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/rumpus_room5a.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[989]\"  rel=\"lightbox[e]\" title=\"No more furnitures :-)\">practically empty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Functionally, we use this room for our desktop computers and the ever growing computer peripherals we&#8217;re accumulating. Since it is adjacent to the family room, it also serve as the video library. It&#8217;s not a nice room to be in during summer because of its big windows that gets a direct hit from the sun in the morning. In the winter however, the heat from the desktops is enough to keep the room warm.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<div id=\"attachment_992\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/rumpus_room2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[989]\" rel=\"lightbox[e]\" title=\"Before Painting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/rumpus_room2.jpg\" alt=\"Years of using this corner as a workstation has left footprints on the wall.
