DIY: Turning Wasted Stair Space Into a Loft Bedroom for My Son

This post is a long time in coming, and I apologize for that. My apartment that we live in and own came with 3 bedrooms. The upper floor also has 3 bedrooms, but we rent it out. In order to make it a rental unit, we blocked off the stairs at the second floor landing, […]

With a dog who sprints through the house and one child who used to climb everything in sight, I quickly learned that home safety isn’t just about baby gates and outlet covers.
