Yes. The hallway! When you're working with barely 800 square feet, every inch counts.
The last this blog saw of my hallway was Audrey being strategically placed to be dragged away by vengeful Cat.
Well, I ended up doing a little bit more with this "room".
As I started unpacking and unearthing things that would have gone in my second bedroom, if I had a second bedroom... I found the immediate need to start getting creative with storage.
Enter this cubed shelving from Target I had been using as closet storage in my former residence. It fit perfectly into this narrow space, without impeding function or safety.
I now call it my Kid's Section.
Having eight nieces and nephews also means having more kiddie stuff than most singles my age. With nowhere else to put the movies, toys, children's books, Sunday School material and video games... this new "room" became a blessing in disguise.
My favorite thing about this room: The little bit of art and the family pictures I've enlarged and framed to match. Everything's a perfect fit! And, the colors blend with the adjoining rooms.
This space is also a perfect showplace for some of my many pieces of Disney memorabilia.
Not to mention, my salvaged collection of Golden Books that the kids don't really care about, but they give me a warm case of nostalgia... therefore, they stay!
What this room will be used for: The first stop for pint-sized visitors. And, at just the right height for little hands to help themselves.
What I'd still like to do with this space: Nothing! This room is complete. *sigh*
