What To Do With a Tiny Triangular Space

When we designed our log home,

we tried to keep a similar footprint as the home that was previously there.

That home had a garage that was detached from the house

and at a 45 degree angle to the house.

Our log home incorporates that oddly shaped space that used to lie

between the house and garage...

and in this triangular space is our kitchen, pantry, laundry room,

and a small bathroom.

Our kitchen is an odd shape....sort of a trapezoid.

The pantry is a trapezoid.

The laundry room is a rectangle.

And the space left over that we turned into a bathroom is a triangle.

Try fitting a sink and toilet into a small triangle.

It's a bit of a challenge.

Not wanting to waste any precious space, we rose to the challenge

and had a cabinet and countertop custom built to fit into a triangular corner.

We had a small wall built across the top angle of the triangle

and placed the toilet there.

Did you really want to know everything there is to know about our tiny bathroom?

Probably not.

But, it serves as an introduction to explain why these photos show such a wonky space.

The reason for the photos?

This rug.

I just finished this rug from...

the last of the core spun wool from Grace, Hope and Faith....

a forever keepsake that will reside in our tiny bathroom.

And if you are just a little too short to see yourself in the mirror,

this rug is for you.... it's about 2 inches thick!

It should never wear out!

Thank you sheepy girls.... I can hardly wait to get this year's wool harvest.

I also had some alpaca wool that was spun into corespun.

Out of that I made this basket...

And a chair pad. (not for this rocker)

Last evening I finished this cowl...

from the softest merino wool.

It's an accessory that just might not be needed until next year.

You see, we are still having unseasonably warm weather.

It was in the 70's yesterday...

and today we are to have a repeat!

The grass is starting to turn green.

Yikes....weird February!
