OK, we're at 3 1/2 months with a baby... I knew they came with a lot of baggage (literally), but we were bursting at the seams pre-baby... what to do now?
Stroller, infant carrier, bouncy seat, swing, play mat, bumbo, high chair (in the box ready for use soon), books, toys, baby. I've decided to re-work the office area to be a combined space, since we mainly use it for storage now anyways. Currently the layout looks like this:
Surprise, surprise... all that extra "space" you see is filled with stuff! So here's what I'm thinking for a new layout:
The joy of Ikea is that my desk and storage console can be broken up (we had to fit it in the car somehow, and that was buying smaller pieces and putting them together). On the bay window side, we'll have an office area for adult things, like computer, printer, file cabinet, etc. On the other side we'll have a kid-friendly space. Storage console will hold baskets with toys and other baby-related things. We'll put a small table and small chair in the middle of the end wall, and across from the storage we'll create a little reading corner. And can't forget about Ramona's dog bed right in the middle with a view of the family room. She's been hanging out in that spot anyways, so we figured we can make it officially hers!
