#2 Office

Jerome is a Registered Nurse (RN) with an associates degree.  We knew even before he finished school that he would be going back eventually to get at least his bachelors.  After working 3 years in the hospital on a unit he loves, he decided to apply for a Nurse Practitioner program where he would earn his masters degree.  For this 3 1/2 year journey, he will need to study a lot and, while it may not always be practical for him to be at home to study, sometimes it will be necessary.  So, I would like to create a room that meets his needs for quiet and calm.

This room was the "office" when we first moved in.  When we were pregnant with Little Bee, I thought we were going to use the room for her nursery.  Hence, we painted and decorated a little.  But, as we neared her due date, we decided to have the girls share a room and make the office a playroom.  You know, try to get most of the toys out of the living room.  Just recently, we added a sunroom onto our back patio and moved the playroom out there.  So we now have a room that is part nursery, part office, and part playroom (there are always toys everywhere).
