Great article! Many might (and did) see this as a conversation about room arrangements, but I couldn’t help but take a different meaning from your story. For me, it’s not just about the practicality of transforming spaces. Rather, it’s about the deeper message of finding beauty and purpose in overlooked corners of life. The way you’ve turned an unremarkable space into something so functional, warm, and even spiritual speaks to a universal truth: with creativity and gratitude, we can reimagine even the most mundane aspects of our lives. Thank you for sparking such a profound reflection - it’s inspiring on more than one level!
Oh my gosh Rahma, I read this aloud to your brother and sister and the grand kids on the way to the airport.
We laughed so much, tears running down my face with joy! Especially Muhammad turning your little closet into the mosque and your fajr with the nappy landing where you place your forehead 🌺
Once the prayer mat dropped down it was officially blessed and clearly going to be a huge success. This post made me giggle, I love these mum wins and am happy for you
Great minds...not only think alike but are in sync too! I have been thinking how there should be a small room just near the bathroom for a family closet+ horse rack... I have even gotten (in my head) a step further, so we have two ,(imaginary) horse racks and kids will dry their own clothes and then out them in their place. :)
Anyway, bedroom without clothes, amazing idea. For now, we'll be probably having a family wardrobe... Somewhere;)
This was SO MUCH fun to read. I love it all, Rahma! My only "unconventional" thing is basically that my desk sits in my son's room where I work from home two days a week. Nowhere near as interesting as your antibagno...
Fascinating. I have to admit I dismissed the idea when I read it at the top of your post but now that I’ve reached the bottom, you’ve got me thinking… 👀🧐

😭 This is the most beautiful reflection on this. Thank you so much.

Love it ...brilliant idea and described with such wit. Hope you are getting on ok and it's not toooo cold there🧡❄️
Such a great use of space - and I love the way you write as well.
Thank you so much!
Fascinating and do functional. Makes us all wish to have an antibagno. Your enthusiasm and spirit is most catching Rahmah

This is the stuff though! It makes sense. Maxing out the functionality of that bedroom. I love it!
Genius!! Wow that would have been so useful when the kids were young.
