Shifting Space

We are gradually preparing to divide Gwendolyn's room (which now doubles as a guest room, for those guests who can tolerate being awoken in the morning by an early-rising toddler) into two rooms: Gwen's room and a separate guest room. In the grand scheme we have it in mind to punch a new doorway into the guest room side and make a semi-permanent wall between the two rooms. In the on-the-way-to-grand scheme we plan to put up a quasi-permanent wall (read: partition) between the halves of the room with a door that can be locked securely enough to keep Gwendolyn on her side. Toward this end, last week we started moving furniture. First the set of cube shelves had to come out of Gwendolyn's room:

and go into the corner of what has become our "office space":

This initial step left some chaos in the GwenGuest room to be sorted out. Here's the view from the far end of the GwenGuest room after the cube shelves migrated:

The book shelf, wardrobe, and dresser that stood against the wall we moved over, back to back, along the imaginary line that will one day actually divide the GwenGuest room in two:

Here's the new room, from the guest side, with dresser and mirror backed up on that imaginary line:

Sara dreams that in the next couple of months we'll have a partition wall set up along that line, with a folding doorway on the right hand side. I hope I get all my other projects on deck done so that can happen!
