I decided to do a thing. The kids have not been using their playroom space. It’s just a room that holds excess toys currently. Kylen (my youngest son who is two) doesn’t spend too much time in that room overall. I redid the boys' room last Spring and now they spend all their spare time up there. Basically, right now the playroom is used for TV watching and art/crafts.



So, I put my old desk and the kids' farmhouse table up for sale and decided it was time to make it a usable space.

Here is the thing. My husband now works from home three to four days a week and there is currently only one desk in the house. He spends most of his time at the desk, which leaves me at the dining table. My back has been killing me from the metal chairs (which I insist on having because kids our just messy). We need a functional dual office space that works for multiple aspects of our family life.

Needs:

Two large desks is a must

Room to homeschool

Storage space and lots of it

Storage space that can also hold lots of little kids artwork

A comfy place to watch TV, drink coffee and hang out with the other spouse while he/she works/blogs/plays computer games if need be

Computer chairs that don’t look hideous but also have lumbar support (yep, I’m officially old)
