This empty wall may not look like much but it actually represents a huge victory. (Sorry for grainy phone photos). Our spare room is FINALLY organized and ready for baby furniture! Part of the home visit process is proving that your living space actually has room for children. I love our house, but it is pretty teeny-tiny and we do have quite a bit of stuff. Donny was a champ and completely re-arranged and re-purposed the space about a week ago - but because it was mostly my stuff in the room, there have been bags and boxes of just odds and ends everywhere that needed homes. We're planning on putting a crib in that empty space and a rocker in the corner where the vacuum is.
We'd like to get another low dresser/changing table type of thing. (We love old, free things..hint, hint). That will go where this white desk currently is. I'm a little sad because I do like the desk - but it's just too big of a piece of furniture for how un-functional it is. We're actually looking to sell, or trade perhaps, it if anyone is interested. I paid $50 for it at a yard sale and painted it white and gave it cute knobs. We'd take $40, OBO.
In my imagination we'd have a room completely dedicated to being a nursery. Something like this gorgeous gender neutral twin nursery from
Carissa Miss
But I have to be realistic. This is the other side of the room.
\We live in a small two bedroom (that I feel very blessed to have, by the way. I know lot's of people live in much smaller accommodations and figure it out). But we have a lot of stuff that needs a place to live. So the spare room will be half baby(s) and half office/Gabby's closet/storage/crafts/etc. The kiddos are actually lucky to get half of the room!
It's full of stuff but at least it's all organized and everything has a home! T-Minus 6 days!
