*Sigh* This was the first room in our total house remodel that I finished. It was a small corner bedroom that was perfect for my (at the time) four year old daughter. Her only requirement was that it be pink, so that's where we started. I so loved this room. It started out as our most unpleasant space (among many!). It was painted a dingy blue-gray with olive green carpet. The only window faces north which added to the bleakness. The former home-owners used this room for out-of-season clothes storage. We weren't even sure if it was big enough to be a bedroom.
We started by tearing out the old closet. It had been built over a raised section in the floor that allowed for headroom on the stairs below. In it's place, we built a platform for her bed. We relocated the closet to the opposite end of the room. The result was a cozy corner to snuggle up in and a bed that I never have to vacuum under. The reason for writing about this room in the past-tense is because this room in this form no longer exists. Very shortly after it was completed, we found out that we were expecting our third child- a boy. This space is his room now, and is undergoing some gender-specific changes. Butterflies mobile- out. Sun and Planets mobile- in.
