Ever since I was little I wanted a loft and a few weeks ago I stayed in a house that had an awesome loft. It was spacious and easy to get up to. I knew I was going to stay out in the shed a lot. The shed has been converted to an extra room. The downstairs is my aunt’s office and the upstairs is the loft. Its really nice and I was super excited to stay out in the loft. However, to my dismay when I came back from school Friday I came up to it and it fits my bed. That’s it. Just a bed. There is no room for anything else. Now I understand why because as I said before it was meant to be a shed, not a bedroom/office. However, it is most definitely the nicest room I have been in for a long time.
However, back to the bed scenario. It only fits my bed. This brings a whole new meaning to bedroom. A room with a bed. That means it’s hard for me to blog and do work in there. Also due to the fact that the ceilings are slanted so that I can hardly sit up in bed and when I can it’s not very comfortable by any means. However, I do love that no one else is in here so I can play music and type and stay up for as long as I please and I don’t hear others get up in the morning so I can sleep in. I have a different schedule than them. I am more a night owl and they are more early birds.
However, as I said earlier this loft gives a new definition to bedroom. room for your bed. I think it is my family’s way of making me be more social and doing less work and school work. Well maybe not less (I’m going to do the same amount regardless) but take more breaks and talk to them during some of them.
Don’t even get me started on the ladder. It’s a utility ladder that is just leaned up against the loft. it doesn’t stand on its own it has to lean against the little space of flooring I may just be a worrier- in fact, I would say I am- but I’m afraid the ladder is gonna fall and I’m gonna get stuck up there.
Overall not the loft I dreamed of as a little girl but this loft does have its perks. Maybe I’ll even appreciate my bedroom more. And maybe get more sleep- maybe.
