Jared is working hard to convert our one bedroom condo into a 1 1/4 bedroom condo. We would like to stay in our current home as long as possible, but we'd also like to preserve some of our own space (ie. our bedroom) and have some dedicated space for our little one. The solution: Baby in a Box.
Here's a before picture of our wide hallway/office space:
We cleaned out a few bookshelves, downgraded from a 4 drawer to a 2 drawer file cabinet, and turned the desk 90°.
Here's the first wall being framed in:
You can see the new file cabinet being built in as part of this wall. There will also be a fold down changing table on this side:
This picture shows where the bed will be located inside the room, as well as the second wall frame which will include a sliding pocket door.
Under the bed will be storage for the stroller, etc. There will also be lots of shelves inside and on the changing table wall.
Here's our house as a construction site:
The door being installed:
That's all for today!

I love it! I'd like to get me a baby in a box. Do you think they'll start selling baby in a box at the store some day? :)
ReplyDeleteJared, that's genius. I figured you'd think of something. It's already looking classier than the bunk-waterbed.
ReplyDeleteCan we come and visit? Any spare room in the box? The girls share the bedroom, and the boys get the box!!!! We are so happy for the both of you! Great job Jared on the construction... very impressive! We look forward to new photos and information about your life and the little one on the way.
ReplyDeleteI love the blog idea! Hmmmm....looks like someone thinks you have objectionable content - what is that about??! Hey, I am excited for you and can't wait to put the baby *in* the box while on nana-duty. Way to go, you two!
ReplyDeleteLove you, Rosie
Your brilliance always amazes me! More people in our nation need to live simply like you two. You're an inspiration!
