We have 3 livable bedrooms in our house. Besides our room, we bunked the girls up in 1 room and we used 1 room as a guest bedroom. There is a very small 4th bedroom but the size of the closet makes it sketchy. Besides that room has been taken over by me and all my crafts. The rest of the house has been OFFICIALLY taken over by 2 toddlers.
It’s always an evolution…my home. I think that I will probably change it regularly. I get a bit bored and very quickly.
Our guest room (formerly Princess’s room) served an okay purpose. We do get quite a few visitors, mainly my family visiting from California. But we found that they sort of migrated their way all the way to the basement in lieu of the guest area. Mainly because it has a comfy couch, TV, and it’s far away from 2 sleeping toddlers. The guest room was a bit dull, no tv, and too close to the sleeping toddlers. With that said, we decided to permanently move the guest quarters to the basement (murphy bed DIY coming soon). Lately, it had just become more of a dumping ground than anything. We all have one of those….right?
So what did we do with the spare guest room? We turned it into an Art Room of course. Doesn’t every household have a spare art bedroom? All kidding aside. We had outgrown our little art space in the laundry room and were desperate to find a new home.
And so we did.
Our number one rule? Spend as little money as possible. I think we did a pretty good job with that part. The only hang up? We still had 2 little visitors who needed a place to stay for sleepovers and were not comfortable with throwing them down into the basement. So the majority of our budget was adding a sleeping area in the new art space.
Oh….you want to see the art space? You will have to wait a couple more days. It’s just about done. But here is a sneak peak…..
A table from our fugly kitchen (another makeover in progress) that we were wondering what to do with?
Every art room needs a rug. But a fabric or wool rug with two toddlers making art? Hmm..probably not a great idea.
Solution.
And of course no project would be complete without the hands of honey do and his fabulous carpentry skills.
A little something for those 2 little girls who still come over for sleepovers.
Seriously, I am sooooo excited to show it off!
