Remodel Continued - Small Spaces

In my quest to declutter, simplify, and modernize our home I sold our living room furniture. Including all the storage for the girls stuff. We moved the vacuum, the folding chairs, the cleaning supplies, and over-sized serving ware out from under the stairs. We than added magnetic paint, chalkboard paint, and little tables to create an "art studio".



The food in the adjoining pantry was relocated to shelves in the garage. We used metal shelves and bins for all our games, toys, dress ups, craft supplies, and family homevening materials. Now that everything is in one place, we are actually using it. It is amazing what you can fit into a small space.

So awesome! Kristi, you are amazing. I can't wait to see pictures of the rest of the house! Tell Miss Kira she looks so grown up missing her tooth.

What a great idea for the space under the stairs! I know you wouldn't do this, but you can even shut the door while they are in there and they would have so much fun!! So creative...I love the magnet and chalkboard walls and the organized pantry. Will you do my house?
