The Original Plan

Plans change. Yes they do. Mine change regularly. Mostly because I can always see a better way. Hubby and I planned to turn part of the addition into an office but recently I've looked at our space and thought wouldn't it be nice to use the room as a breakfast nook or luncheon nook or supper nook. In other words lets try the dining room table out there. And so I did.



I think it is a great idea. Except (and there is always one of those) there is a door that we installed in the sunroom. It's in the way. I know that the wall paneling is not up yet but I wanted to see if I could make the dining table work in there. It does but it is tight and that means the door access is cut off. Bad drag! Now I am wondering why in the world I would ever want a door there in the first place!




The nice thing about having the table in there is that it gives us room for a living room. We could actually buy a couch (since the one I covered at Christmas ended up at the parents house indefinitely) and actually have seating in our house to comfortably watch movies on our TV.




I look forward to Hubby getting home and getting his opinion to see if he likes it that way. If he does then it's all good, and I am getting a couch. I also want a nice desk to put our computer under the steps and not have to worry that it will fill up with dust. A covered desk is what we need. I want a roll top. For some reason dust drifts down the steps and sabotages anything we put under the steps. Sometimes I think it looks like snow under there. I think because Duff has taken to sleeping at the top of the steps there is a lot of hair from her. Not to mention laundry from all of us contributing to the problem.

Anyway the desk will go under the steps, the table would stay in the new addition, and the rest of this room will be used like a living room. I think it will be cool.

The good news is, if we keep the table in the addition then we won't need another addition. Next project would be the west deck or maybe we should build a screened porch. Now that would be really great!
