As you might imagine, our living conditions have changed now that a large portion of the living space is no longer available. I thought you might enjoy seeing how compressed things have become…
Britt’s Drum’s were relocated from the basement in order to accomodate the new ‘laundry room’. The girls have been back in the bunk beds for a while (I did not photograph the other side – their desks/dressers, I don’t even want to look at that mess!)
Stover’s room got two sets of bookcases that used to be in the Living Room (yes, that’s him reclining on the bed).
The one item that did live in the piano room was the ‘art shelf’ it now resides in the second floor bathroom – really! there was enough space
The girls room also acquired a number of items from the Living Room (and the drawers to the train table, which we have not decided what to do with, yet).
Even the master bedroom was not spared, we have a bookshelf and the leather chair from the living room. Shiver no longer likes to sleep up here, her bed is too crowded, she prefers the base of the stairs to keep tabs on everyone.
The kitchen is almost never presentable but we like having a table/chairs in it for the first time ever. The office is also crowded with stuff, under the tall desk, the piano on it’s side, lots of dust.
The living room (formerly the piano room) is quite cozy and we can all cuddle on the couch and watch TV (or eat dinner). It’s amazing, really, that we have not felt too inconvenienced (yet).
