Our house is small-ish. It's about the same size as my childhood home. Which, of course, seemed huge at the time. But, compared to our friends who live in the suburbs of Phoenix, and who have traded square footage for a massive commute time, our house is little. Wee, if you will. And, though we have 3 bedrooms, the sizes are not equal. The smallest bedroom is too small to be anyone's permanent bedroom, so we opted to make it an office / guestroom. And, of course, the huz and I have the largest room. Which leaves the middle bedroom for both of our boys, ages 2 and 5. For now, it's great. The boys love sharing a space, sleeping next to each other and honestly, they just don't take up a lot of room. Yet.
So here's where we are at.
The room has 2 twin beds, lots of books and lots of toys. We have absolutely no extra money for furnishings, so anything we do to the room has to be cheap, cheap, cheap. And requires that we work with what we already have.
Notice we have no wall art to speak of. After I figure out the final layout, wall decoration is next. And I am seriously hoping to score some bookshelves to go under the windows. Since budget is ever a concern, maybe I'll get lucky at a yard sale.
I have some crafty ideas up my sleeve. But as with most of my working momma friends, following through with any of them is the biggest challenge. So, check back often. I am hoping to post some of my design inspiration and RESULTS very very soon. xoxo, K
