Prince Helium is in an on-campus apartment while he works for the university and attends law school. Princess Bossy will move in with him there after their wedding.
For the last several months of her internship, it was her place to step away from the demands of her job, cook and bake to her heart's content, and for a very appreciative audience, which is always rewarding. Having adequate survival type of cooking skills, but not the passion for cooking and baking that his fiance has, Prince Helium was happy to turn the kitchen over to Princess Bossy and let her arrange it, stock it, and otherwise make it her own early on. This means she's pretty well acquainted with the work area and storage already, and has visions for its future, filled with wedding registry wish list entries.

Nesting within a Nest:
When Princess Sassy and Prince Steadfast began discussing marriage, they thought they'd also be headed out of state...to Tempe and Arizona State University. ASU, though, accepted so few of the credits Prince S earned in his Associate's Degree that he'd be almost back to square one, and starting without enough credits to even qualify as a sophomore, instead of as a junior, as he'd expected. With the out of state tuition costs, this was no longer a reasonable option, so they'll be staying around here for awhile. He'll instead pursue his engineering degree from the local satellite program of one of Washington's universities.

It is actually an old sewing cabinet, complete with old machine & attachments. OK for $5. |
More than they do, Hubby and I see their coming need for privacy and separation, so will work to make sure they have their respected spaces, as do we. Initially, we designed our home to be built in phases, with a garage attached with a connecting piece as Phase 2. It seems that now is the time to build it with the couple getting the bonus space with probable future kitchenette space above the garage as their domain. So between wedding errands, I have been designing this new addition.
Hubby is thrilled that we'll have indoor shelter for vehicles, and some shop workspace. I am thrilled that we'll gain much needed storage in the garage and in the connector area to take pressure off the house. The prince and princess are thrilled to have affordable housing with many built-in benefits. They'll be a stairway away from company, laundry equipment, and great baking space, while still having an area to make into their own, decorating and organizing as they like. Win-win-win.
