Our house it a very cute little home. Emphasis on the little. This makes for some very creative problem solving when it comes to how we use our space. Now, I do need to say that we are not as space savvy as some who live in one bedroom or studio apartments in a big city. Those people are awesome at keeping their spaces multifunctional and beautiful. Josh and I are doing our best at using our space in the most efficient way possible.
With this being said, we are putting our baby in a closet. Not to worry. This closet is big. It has three windows and a cable outlet. Most people would not even call it a closet but that is what it was when we moved into our home. We took out all of the racks and shelves and this is what we ended up with.
Once the room was empty. Josh and his brother had to put in a vent. This room had no AC or heat which might be reason the previous owners used it as a closet. It also has a very odd, offset light fixture. We have no idea what we are going to do about this. Probably nothing. You can see it above Josh's head near the door. It blinds you if you look towards the doorway. Hmmmm...
Once this was done. Josh painted and added trim. The walls are a light gray. I like the color a lot. At first I wanted a shade darker, but I think because the room is so small it helps make it look bigger. Josh also added new baseboards which was desperately needed. This is what we ended up with.
My husband worked very hard on all of this with very little help from me. Especially when you think about that we were using this space for an office and some storage. It was A LOT of work to move all the stuff out and then get working on the room. He is a great husband and I know he will be an awesome dad.
