Her Own Little Place

This past spring my daughter announced that she was planning to move home and take a semester off from College. We were supportive of her decision {becuz we knew that she had good reasons, she's not the type of person to just quit anything, we trusted that she knows what is in her own best interest, and that she would go back, or find something better for herself} and helped her rent a storage facility, pack up and move home.

This week she started back to school, the unfortunate part about this is, that she when she moved home, she was given the tiny tiniest bedroom in the house. And going back to school means having a place to study. There is no room in her tiny bedroom for her desk.  This left us with a couple of options...

1. Move The Studio back down to the tiny room and let her have the big room.
2. Move her desk into The Studio.

I'm feeling a bit guilty over this decision, but it would be sooooo much work to move The Studio, and I'm not sure everything would fit back into the tiny room. So we made the decision to move her into a corner of The Studio.  I think this will actually work out better for her, becuz it's nice and quiet upstairs. We spent the last couple of weekends moving stuff to storage, and getting stuff out of storage, and making this "her" own little place. I think it turned out well. Wanna see pics...

BEFORE
This is what the wall looked like originally
When I first moved into The Studio
Then I added this door project

I had this door out in the garage, left over from a display I built for
Maddy's high school graduation open house.
I really liked it and didn't want to part with it, so I brought it in and put it behind the futon
to cover the window.

AFTER
This is what that end of The Studio looks like now!!!
Her desk has it's own place.
We also brought all of her looming stuff in as well.
All of her yarn fits in those orange and black storage things.

I think it looks pretty good, and that it will work for her.  I'm glad she has "her" own little place. I don't really miss that futon much at all.
I'm going to do another blog about that cork board, to the left of her desk. So stop back by and check that out!!
