Adding a wee bit more storage

I mentioned yesterday that Jeff the Builder and the guys have been over here recently.  The main reason for their presence is that they’ve been working on our garden shed, which has evolved into a slightly larger structure that will also hold our bikes and other sports equipment.

But that’s not what I’m going to talk about in this post.  Instead, I wanted to show you this:

This is the corner of the craft room that wraps around the stairs.  When we were planning the house, Pete hit upon the idea of squaring-off the opening and creating a little alcove for future shelves, which were built this week.  Even though the girls have a book nook outside their bedrooms, we’ve already more than filled the shelves and found ourselves with a bit of an overflow problem.  Book Nook 2.0 gives us more space, which I’m hoping we won’t fill too quickly.
