The not-so-musical Music Room

Yesterday, you saw my piano in my front room.  That's where it's been since we moved here 2 years ago, but that's not where it's staying.  I've learned over the last few houses that it sometimes takes a good while to know how you REALLY want and need to use each space.  This room has been a play room, a storage room, and a bedroom to 4 different people in different combinations.  We finally settled on it being the Music Room.  Not everyone needs a Music Room, but we decided that it was a must for us.  Handyman and I have both been playing the piano since childhood, 3 of our boys are currently taking lessons, and the rest will follow suit.  Tornado REALLY wants to learn how to play cello, so he'll probably start lessons next Fall.  Goat and Magician haven't decided yet if they want to play a second instrument, and we all love to sing.  So a music room is a must. :-) 

Nater and Bob are the room's current residents, but that will change in the next few months as we finish one more bedroom in the basement and move Goat and Magician into their permanent abode.  Tornado just moved into his this week, and we got Scooter (the baby now has a nick-name) settled in the Nursery/Guest room today.  Whew!  2+ years, and a dozen or more moves from this room to that room and back again, but we ALMOST have everyone settled into a long-term room.  Now the fun part starts because we can actually start decorating with a theme!

Without further adieu.........The Music Room


Meh......not sure what was going on that day.  I just wanted to get pics of the whole house, before I started changing things.  When I actually start this room, I'll get more and better pics.

·         Music Room TO DO:
o   Widen doorway and hang sliding barn doors
o   Turn other doorway into a framed bookshelf
o   Remove shelves from walls
o   Patch and paint
o   New trim
§  Doors
§  Window seat
o   New carpet
·         Music Room DONE:
o   Nada

Needless to say, this room is not high on the priority list.  It will likely be a year or more before we get to it.
