The Great Nursery Challenge:

How to create a 4th bedroom when you've run out of rooms and general housing space.

Solution: Get very creative!!! So the only solution that made sense was to convert the tiny WIC to a nursery for our surprise blessing. That equates to adding more closets into the back attic space (under the roof line on the back side of the house), hopefully later this next year  (2010).  Budgets ran out this year as I'm sure it did for many others. So our original closet plans are on hold. In the meantime we've figured out some temp and not so temporary solutions.

We're adding a couple new (albeit small) walls to box in a closet space. This was space we were previously using as a closet with a closet system added to the walls. Said closet system has found a new home in DD-C's bedroom. Since she's now officially a young teen, she needs space for her expanding wardrobe. Hopefully this will contain it until we are able to add those much needed closets (1 for her and 1 for the master bedroom).

So in our house, bedrooms become laundry and mudrooms. Closets grow and later become new nursery/bedrooms. Oh and hallways become storage/gaming nooks and 1/2 baths... but we'll get to more details on those developments at a later time.

About Me

My photo
I'm a 30-something, mostly SAHM of 4 (2 DD's and 2 DS's) and DSM to 1 (DSD). I've had a deeply ingrained love & respect for mother nature and most things natural ever since I can remember. In 2003 we were FTHB's of a 1920 cape cod desperately needing TLC. We've been gradually remodeling ever since. I have a mad love of beautifully organized home spaces that are exceptionally functional. I love working with my hands and creating, especially newly repurposed things. My DH may state that I'm a creative force to be reckoned with. I started this blog as a way to chronicle our life as a family and our adventures in home ownership... my musings. I love hanging with my family and friends. Yet I crave slivers of good old fashioned alone time to be still, collect my thoughts and refuel my spirit. Hope you enjoy the snippits of chaos, fleeting moments of sanity... er... insanity. Well whatever it may be, it'll be real.
