Day 2 - Success!

All is well~! She's doing it.

I'm painting the office walls tonight. We are starting to shuffle the furniture towards moving Missy downstairs.  Putting Brianna and Vanessa in one room is fine, but since we no longer have a school room it's kind of cramped to put two beds and two big desks in the bedroom, so we have rearranged the office to make a study space all for Bri. Artist that she is, she needs a LOT of space. Water color paintings, drawings at various stages of completion, nature magazines, laptop, camera, sheet music and algebra books all compete for turf on her desktop. It would stifle her style to have it all neatly in drawers and baskets! It's not uncommon to find the cello and the violin resting on her desk (make that desks- end to end to fill an entire wall) as well. It's shuffle, shuffle, shuffle to figure out the how to accommodate this family's needs and create an efficient living space within the budget. We still have to come up with a twin bed before the official switch can happen.

Okay.... back to my paintbrush.

what about a loft bed, they are not to expensive at Ikea or they are super easy to build and then they could have more floor space for all the stuff and the desks.
Yipee for Missy.
