Creating a Neurodivergent Accessible Home *Updated*
A while ago, I wrote a post about curating a neurodivergent home. We realized the standard way of living we were raised with or that we saw other people living simply didn't work for our family. We have come up with systems that DO work for our family. This post really resonated with a lot of people, but as time went on and our home and needs changed, I figured other people would like to see how things changed as our family and needs changed too. Here are our updated ways to make our neurodivergent home work for us.
Things That Make Sense in Our Neurodivergent Home
Remember when there was a trend going around where people said the quirky things that “just make sense” in their home? Well, today I want to talk about things that make sense in my neurodivergent house, that might not in others.
Why We Love Beddy’s
If you remember the most popular, and one of my favorite projects, is the house bed I built for my daughter. One of my most common questions I get asked it is: what sheets do you use? In the process of building the bed I did a ton research looking for the best bedding. I knew, because of how tight the space is, that traditional bedding would make it really hard to make the bed. That's when I found Beddy's.
Small Desk Build + Download Build Plans
Earlier this week, I talked about Creating the Primary Bedroom Of Your Dreams. When I was painting our bedroom I decided that I really wanted to change The Husband's desk. I wanted something that better fit the clean lines and aesthetic of the room, so I broke out the saw and the pile of scrap wood I have (this is why I love saving scrap wood!) and went to work.
Creating the Primary Bedroom Of Your Dreams
When we first moved into this house, every room was a basic gray paint with nothing on the walls and no kind of treatments or customization, a true builder house. I originally thought I wanted our house to be all neutral colors, but the longer we have lived in this house, the more colors I want to add to it! I spent 9 months deciding on the very first thing I wanted to do and then a year after that coming up with my final design. Today I am going to walk you through that entire process and how I landed on the final design!
I have linked all the supplies, tools and things I added to our room at the bottom of this post.
