A brand new... room


Simone's mother-in-law moved out five months ago. Her furniture followed suit a month ago. Since then, the room has remained vacant while Simone toyed with ideas as to what to do with the space.

Several ideas simmered in her head. The room could be a games room, a spare bedroom, a dining room... Hubby even asked if they could get a pool table but Simone thinks he was joking.

In the end, Simone decided that what she'd really like would be a crafting and art room with extra storage. Because they rent out their basement, Simone and hubby find themselves tight for storage space. And since the arrival of the two puppies, their main storage area has become the home of the dogs' cage, further reducing the space. In addition, little B, the 12 year old and Simone are all extremely fond of crafts and art project but since the supplies are stored in several different places, beginning a project usually involves a lot of preparation.

Hubby glanced at Simone sideways when she made her proposal but soon started coming up with many ideas of his own to make the space even more user friendly. Hellooooo Ikea!

And the bonus is that, hopefully, when the room is full, the dogs will stop regarding it as their giant litter box...
