This is a perfect example of several things: (1) sometimes you have to live in a space to truly understand how it does, or does not, work for you (2) sometimes you have to build your skill set to take on a large project, and (3) sometimes you have to just move forward and learn as you go. Mistakes will be made and things will be learned. And a beautiful and useful space will occur.

Things change. Needs change. Maybe you don’t really need so many coats and boots. And more importantly, you skills grow. As you noted. Useful spaces will evolve and grow as you use a space.
