Cornered

A and I have been organising the house in preparation for the baby. And we are a bit overwhelmed with the amount of work that it requires. The task is rendered a shade more challenging by the sheer lack of space. And necessity being the mother of invention, we have had to improvise, and look at space innovatively.

As part of this grand design project (which in reality is anything but grand and design only in our un-artistic heads), corners have suddenly become very significant. They seem to have a life of their own and provide a canvas truly exceptional in that while spatially definitely limited, if used well, they can add value and character without making a small space look smaller

After many many negotiations, arguments, back and forths on how we wanted to see it evolve, this is how one corner cornered us into turning it into a drinks area.

A sober corner unit by the day that transforms itself into...

...a wild party animal hosting exciting boozy adventures in it's belly!

No that is definitely not the route we were thinking we might go down when we started preparing the house for the baby... but I tell you, these corners have a way of cornering you into submission...
