Here's hoping E and R aren't prone to claustrophobia



Hear me: Pinterest has changed my world forever. Never have I felt so inspired by images or moved to change my surroundings. And I have wasted more time gazing at the loveliness on Pinterest than I should admit. Ryan called to remind me this morning that my job today is to fold the laundry. That's how bad things have gotten around here. I'm proud to report those clothes currently look like they could be on a table display at the Gap.

Looking past my laziness, one idea that Pinterest keeps throwing at me is the concept of a built-in or nook bed. They look so cozy and sweet. The other night I told Ryan that if we ever happen to own a home, we have to build our kids' beds into or out of the wall or place them in an existing nook. I know we aren't the most motivated folks, but if Ryan starts to learn basic carpenter skills now, then in 10 years (about the time we can afford a real home out here), he should be some sort of a pro. :-)


Awe heck, maybe we should have one too!

I need to follow your example, my laundry basket is overflowing as I type. And I totally love the nook beds! Im on the same 10 year plan, so maybe Ill get brad going on his carpentry skills too so he and Ryan can tag team it.

Bed spaces like these make me think of a little sanctuary where you can go be by yourself. They are just so beautiful.

I'm totally with you! I think kids like the idea too. It's like a little hut of their own.

I love that idea! I sort of want a nook bed myself now! I toured a home a couple months ago where each of the kids had a loft in their room that was a special little place for them. The girl had dolls and a little makeup table and the boy had books. Oh, to have endless budget to do such creative things!
