Small Home Tour Update!: Nucci and Family of 4 Moves from 400 sqft to 700 sqft

I’m always happy to share a new Small Home Tour with you and this one is extra special because it is a return tour! Getting to see your kids grow up and your families change in your small spaces is a great joy for me. We have Nucci of @our_simplestory with us again, this time sharing her 700sqft apartment in North Vancouver with us. When we first met Nucci she was living in a 400sqft studio with her family of four. I was interested to learn how she found the additional space and what small space challenges remained. I’ll leave you with Nucci

Adding a Play Gym to the Kids Room

As some of you may know I crowdsourced to find out if families that installed an indoor play gym/climbing wall actually found that their kids used it and it was worth the spend. My rough assessment of your generous feedback was that climbing walls were under-used unless they were quite tall or the holds could be changed up regularly. Swedish ladders seemed to be used regularly and any type of hanging swing or rings were used a lot.

The choice of what to install is so dependant on your unique space. A wood beam is the most helpful to attach a swing or rings too. Or alternatively an open doorway with room to swing. All of these options weren’t available to us. We were worried about drilling into the ceiling in the kids room so. a wall mounted gym is were we landed.
