We have a great many books and lots of shelves but not enough storage space of other kinds, virtually no closets. We put the coat closet in the living room ourselves some years ago and that makes exactly 4-that one and one in each bedroom. Not much "design" to get too houseproud about there. We do like our house, though, it suits us.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569442682455340958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91370154628832640.post-49389812416887131722009-01-11T16:03:00.000-08:002009-01-11T16:03:00.000-08:00I love IKEA!

We have a large sectional couch that we had set into a corner, trying to leave as much space in the center of the room as possible. At Christmas we moved it away from one wall, and made one wing of the couch become the "wall" between the living room and dining room. Surprisingly, it opened up both rooms, and made a definite definition between them. We liked it so much that we left it after Christmas. It was even roomier after we took out the tree. :)<BR/><BR/>Also, when we put up the boys' bunkbeds, we put up both beds on Matt and Ben's bunk, but only the top bunk on Josh's bed while not putting in the bottom. That way we have only used the floor space needed for one bed, but we've got three in there. It has been wonderful.<BR/><BR/>No other tips, and I guess these are pretty furniture-specific. They worked for us, though.<BR/><BR/>I wish we could think of something to do with our office, but at the moment it's something of a lost cause.Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703334707738126703noreply@blogger.com
