God is Funny

Let me first apologize for being a LOSER blogger lately.  Have not posted in forever.  Did I mention that I am 36 weeks pregnant & have a toddler?  Not to mention the other thing I'm blogging about today:

So, since we are pregnant with baby #2 and have no extra bedroom to put him in, we started thinking about moving to a new house.  Recently my husband had talked to the loan department at the bank he works for and they gave us the bad news on house prices right now (for the seller).  We would be lucky to pay off our loan if we sold our house.  So, I started to settle into the idea of feeling content and making it work in our tiny little house.  Thus:

I was coming up with all these great ideas for getting rid of things and making smarter storage in our home.  I was really starting to feel like, this could work--for now.  Apparently that is the place where God wanted me to get before He moved us on to something more.  Someone wants to buy our home and we have been given a GREAT down payment from our families!!!  We had no idea this was going to happen and are overwhelmed with their love, and God's provision.  

Right now, we are looking at houses and working on finalizing the sale of our house.  Most likely I will be packing up our whole house with a toddler and a newborn, but you know what?  I don't care at all because I am so thankful for His work on our behalf and for our lovely family.

We appreciate your prayers for us while we try to decide where to live and just go through the whole process.  If you've been there, then you know what all is involved : )

Thanks for hanging in there with our blog through the next two months while we have a lot going on around here!

Have a lovely weekend!!! xoxxo

Life in 1,082 Sq Ft: Office Space Episode 2

So, I've been doing some thinking, research and pondering of your comments.

I feel very inspired by the closet office from Kim Davis of Oh, Sweet Joy!

Isn't it lovely?  It was also suggested by my friend Rachel that a closet space is away from the kiddos, so I could leave the projects I'm working on right where they are & they won't be disturbed.  

I am also inspired by the bright, cheeriness of Honey We're Home's office space:

And love the patterns & colors of this office from Jones Design Company:

Of course, this is going to be happening all in my very tiny closet.  So, I'm just gathering inspiration.  So, here are some offices actually in small closets:

Country Living

Unplggd

Apartment Therapy

I Heart Organizing

Kelly Giesen

Lowes Creative Ideas



I have 2 end tables similar to these:





So, I am planning to start with these in each corner.  Cricut supplies on one, sewing machine on the other.  Plenty of room for a chair in the middle.  More to come...

Life in 1,082 Sq Ft: Office Space

Confession #1

My house is 1,082 square ft.  We are in the process of selling it, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen before baby #2 gets here in April

Confession #2

I'm about to freak out for lack of space!!

All that to say, this is the beginning of a group of posts entitled:

My first project will be adding function & reducing clutter in my living room.  Here is the before:

We need to add a little function for me & my husband.  We have a little make-shift office for my husband in the corner, but it's crowded.  I also have no where in the house for my sewing machine, Cricut, printer etc.  I have some ideas, but would love to hear yours as well.  One thought I had was getting two 4ft Lifetime tables & run them against the back wall to create one long desk...Thoughts?!
