We’ve all seen those homes on social media or design tours.
The camera scrolls to take you through the tour, and yes it’s all beautiful. But the whole time you’re wondering — Do actual kids live here? Where are the diapers? The shoes? The Polly Pockets that aren’t so small these days and don’t fit in any toy bins?
I’ve said it before — I don’t want to live in a home where there is no-proof of kid. Our kids are a huge part of our lives. There is no joy in our home without the proof of their presence.
However, I think a lot of parents make the mistake of not setting boundaries in their home and waking up to discover they live in kid-land and have lost their own place within it.
Today I get up on my croaky voice soapbox about the power and necessity of setting boundaries with your kids in your home. And how creating a small space that children feel safe and secure in doesn’t mean you can’t love living there too.
This is controversial, so I’d love to know what you think and any thoughts you might have wherever you are in your own journey.
Ready to step out of kid-land and create a space that both kids and adults love living in?
As a small space design and functionality coach (who thinks like a 5 year old ;), I specialize in helping families in small spaces maximize their homes to accommodate the things that matter most to them.
It can feel daunting to take a leap on buying furniture or moving if you don’t know how to create what you are looking for.
Space Jams coaching eliminates all that frustration and uncertainty by giving you 8 weekly 1-1 sessions.
Together we will decide why this lifestyle matters to you, evaluate what’s working and what’s not, and design a home that works for you and not against you.
