OLC now has a bedroom of her own, with a little loft.

My storage loft I narrowed and put behind the couch in the living room. (My inspiration was an apartment-style loft that I saw in a book, it was one big room with the bedroom and bathroom housed in little cabins at each end.) Then I walled the loft in, so now I have about 20 square feet of space all to myself, plus fabric/craft storage on the level above. Going without a personal space for a week was difficult. Twenty square feet is enough, I just need room to sit and think and have some of my special things around me.

I figure that this is the seventh configuration that I’ve put the loft into. I originally built it before I was married, cost was about $100 for the lumber and hardware. I did all the cutting and drilling with hand tools. Previously I had flipped it and added a level and widened it.

Moving all these things around was a tremendous amount of work, now most of the big things are done and I only have an endless list of little things to do.
