Get in where you fit in

2 Adults + 2 Kids + 1 wild and crazy dog = The need to take advantage of every square inch in our 1000 square foot townhouse. Most things have to serve a duel purpose and some things just have to be reinvented COMPLETELY. Our downstairs coat closet was a DISASTER-and why do two people from California have 10 coats a piece anyway?! We recently upgraded our flooring downstairs from carpet to laminate wood (pics to come)so the vacuum migrated upstairs and all those coats were sifted through (we each kept three)and donated. Since my old work space now houses a crib and I FINALLY got tired of working from the sofa/dining area/kitchen/etc -I decided to turn this "misused" space into something actually pretty nice. All my paperwork/supplies that have been stuffed randomly throughout the house fit nicely in boxes I already had, I found a mistint paint at Lowe's for $2.50 that I just LOVE and overstock carried a knock off Parsons Desk that fit perfectly in the tight space (though it had to be built IN the closet to fit). I borrow a chair from the dining table a foot away and have my very own cubicle! Most importantly-the door closes so I no longer find myself chasing a baby with a half chewed expense report :)
