A Fort Washington family is among the many homeowners who have adapted their living spaces to serve multiple purposes during the pandemic, writes Terri Akman for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
It did not take Tracy Burzycki long to realize that the dining room table was not a long-term schoolwork solution for her eight-year-old twins Owen and Courtney and six-year-old Caitlin. So she set out to find a new plan and soon she was working on turning the breakfast room into an at-home classroom.
She turned to designer Amy Cuker of down2earth interior design for help, and before long the roughly 100-square-foot room was transformed into a perfect spot for learning.
“My ultimate goal was to get all three kids into the room with enough space to spread out and functionally be able to work with virtual school,” said Burzycki.
She added baskets to store school supplies along with three matching chairs and a black mountain scene coated with chalkboard paint.
Now that the kids are back in school, they still use the space for their homework, “but the running joke is that the fourth kid who is also using the room is my husband, Steve,” joked Burzycki.
