I’m taking a break from scanning through every apartment therapy post on Ohdeedoh (the part of the site that deals with kids stuff) as I try to figure out how we can best accommodate the arrival of bump.

We had been (slowly but surely) working on having the apartment made suitable for the two of us and I have to say- we were pretty close to completion, now we need to make it work for three and the third one likely to be in at everything..  in our current 55 sq meter two room apartment that could be trouble (although I know it can be done- I’ve seen a family of six, and heard of many more families in Denmark who live in an apartment the same size as ours) so..

before-

I have to make way for a nice safe play friendly area in the living room, but I think it’s the bedroom that’s going to take the most work.

The plan-

1. Good storage and organization is key

2. Scrap everything that isn’t needed- including getting rid of large and unnecessary furniture/coffee tables- floor lamps etc. (I’ve heard it suggested too that for everything new brought into the house you should get rid of something else)

3. Have a designated play area with soft flooring.

4. A designated (eye level) family eating place- that will come a bit later tho I’m taking into consideration now.

(thank gooodddness we got the kitchen redone last summer!)
