 Kate started with a bedroom upstairs.  It was intended to be a dining room and was a pass-through room.  We closed off one of the doorways to make it into a bedroom.  The downstairs space that her bedroom is currently in, was originally the laundry room when we purchased the house and then we turned it into a storage room.  NOTE:  We have a new storage room in the addition on the back of the house next to the laundry room.
