The first is our room (when it is clean, lol). This is the small bedroom, it has wood floors and heating and cooling we know work - though like any room with the wall/ceiling units, the floor is always drafty... It also has a door that opens onto the balcony (that we never use).
This is the closet in the small bedroom. It slides open on both sides revealing a deep wooden shelf about waist high and another one higher up (I can't even touch it!). It is deep enough to easily hold our giant suitcases and probably put a small baby bed on the shelf if we wanted to leave one of the doors open, instead of putting a baby bed on the floor beside ours.
This is the big bedroom. It's huge. We have never spent any real time in there, and just use it for storage. We assume the heating/cooling, lights, and outlets all work fine. All the windows do allow for nice air flow throughout the entire upstairs though! One option we have here is to divide this room into either baby's room, a play room, a living area, and/or move our room into half of it. We have debated on moving our main living area upstairs (couch, computer, games, kotatsu, etc) to leave the downstairs ready for company and save on heating/cooling costs. We've also thought about moving our room to the big room and making the smaller one the nursery.
This is a view of part of the hallway. On the left is the door to the small room (which you can't see) and on the right are the two doors into the big room. Since the rooms are so close together, whichever room the baby is in, we'll still be nice and close to each other. :-)
*We DO plan on keeping baby with us for the first few months before moving her into a separate room.
*As for decorating, we cannot paint (the walls are some type of textured panneling) and cannot put too many holes in the walls, as they are not easily repairable. So suggestions on making whichever room baby-friendly would be nice too!
Thanks!
