Turn Your Space Upside Down

In doing some heart felt analysis of our space which is wonderful -- we live in two classrooms of an old school house. We definitively decided that we will remain with baby here. However, where to put the baby has been a small problem as I do not like to share studio space with anyone. I was inspired by a recent article in the New York Times about thinking about small space design, written by a couple of designers in a tiny apartment having their first child. Since we do not wish to share our room with the baby, we need to convert our his/hers office into the nursery. We've embraced this idea full force and have lovely plans of projecting Dr. Seuss characters all over the walls (I really like painting on the walls). But when faced with moving all our crap into the studio I was a little daunted. So we figured out a good design for inserting extra cabinets between our existing cabinets in the main room which will absorb hopefully all of our office materials. We'll cut the baby closet up in two to store winter coats and then baby stuff in baskets on wire shelving. Then we'll try and downsize our dinosaur computer equipment to microscale it and set it up in my space. This seems to be just the thing to do so that we have plenty of room for junior. As long as junior doesn't have too many toys ;) I must be stressed about it because I started 8 foot by 2 foot painings while I still have my whole work space.
