Wow BA - that's awesome! Congrats to you & GF! I think it's great that your girls are onboard. But teen girls do not like sharing their space as a rule. Maybe having all the girls help plan their room arrangements/decor would make a negative into a positive. IKEA has some great storage solutions. Maybe there would be room to add a tall armoire for more clothing space? But since they are both in college - maybe it won't be so much of a problem.
At any rate - I'm sure it will all work out & I wish you all the best.
Personally, I think the "hot rack" idea sounds ideal. Will you and GF have to really work on that one? I totally agree that's a good solution for a long term situation.
Advice? LOL. Call Carol and Mike Brady?
BTW, I have to agree with Barb. I'm actually heading over to Ikea after I pick up D17 today. Shortly. They have some really amazing storage solutions. And they're really cute. PLUS, if you're a Pinterest follower, there is a website out there that is completely devoted to Ikea hacks. These industrious and clever folks use existing Ikea products and customize them to become whatever they need; they even include video tutorials and/or instructions. I'm beyond amazed to see what they do. I could spend an entire day on that website alone. Don't ask me how much time I spend perusing Pinterest...
Three cheers for stability!
