Andrew’s New Room

 

Today we pretty much did a complete transformation of my room. In the pictures above you can see how my office area used to look.  We got this desk from a neighbor who was didn’t need it and a couple of things were broken on it. Mom found a nice desk off of Craigslist and we hauled it home in the trailer a couple of days ago.

I worked on unplugging everything and taking out the desk.

Getting the desk and hutch down the hallway and into my room was a bit tricky.  We had to take measurements, take off my door and turn the desk around a few times before we got it into my room. The easy thing to do would have been to obviously take off the hutch but it was fastened using dowels and we were trying to avoid cutting them at all costs. Mom had me take a picture of how the way we got the desk into my room for future reference when we’ll have to take it back out!

I am really excited about how much more workspace I’ll have not to mention how much nicer the desk looks and the new storage space!

 

  I got all of my many device plugged in and got the wires organized some.  The printer now has it’s own space and I can keep my folders in my desk instead of the plastic box. Compare these pictures with those above.

  We also got some picture frames fastened to the walls, so now I need to order some prints to put in them!

A new bedding set is on the way and will be here soon.

 

The new layout makes the room look a lot larger than it used to and now the room is very functional for me and my business(es.)  I’ll now have the room to bring clients into my room and work with them on the computer. I am particularly excited about the loft bed and the desk!

Before & After: Moving the bed to a loft bed created a lot of space

Andrew’s New Loft Bed

  While we were making a trip to pick up the new sink and Kate’s bookcase we also loaded the a new loft bed unto the trailer.

   The picture to the right summarizes how my bedroom has looked since we moved my bedroom upstairs a couple of months ago.  I was never really a fan of having my bed in the middle of the room and I was constantly walking around the bed just to get to the other side of the room.  I was so tired of having my bed there I said that I’d rather just get rid of the bed and spend my nights in a sleeping bag!

   Mom came up with the idea of putting my bed up into the air so I’d have room below to store some furniture.  She was going to make another loft bed herself, but for the cost of materials we could buy one.

   The video below shows a monotonous video of me assembling the bunk bed-by myself! Hey, that’s a lot coming from a guy who doesn’t know one end of a hammer from the other (exaggeration.)

Surprisingly enough Lydia didn’t mind that my bed was so far up in the air, however she does require assitance in climbing the ladder.
