[quote=Anonymous]I realize this post is older but my response may apply to other moms seeking an answer.
As a single mom with Physical Custody of a 6 year old we have made this work for 2 years now. You have to be creative, develop a plan for simplicity, (which was easy enough for me coming from chaos and a ridiculous burden of luxuries that brought no joy or happiness.) And look at this as therapy of sorts.
I feel my son enjoys the security of this 800 sq. Ft attic  living arrangement as he has carte blanche and endless amounts of free reign and acres of play when he visits with his father on the weekends. I notice when he arrives home how amped up and anxious he is until he settles in again.
We have shabby chic dressers in the kitchen, living room,and bedroom to double as nice looking storage. Kitchen utensils, dishes, toys, clothes, paperwork can be neatly stored away and easily accesible. We have lots of wicker baskets to put gloves, hats, balls etc. Near the entryway...a laundry area in a closet makes this well worth the meager rent paid for this accomidation.Tha attic eves have tons of storage. Under the bed clear totes organize out of season clothing, blankets, etc. The bedroom is rather large with a king size bed and room for an ikea bookshelf to the ceiling for all the toys, books, that are used often. I divide the room with a to the ceiling. Set of simple curtain brackets with sliding hooks and sheer shabby curtains to open and shut with ease. I even put a small woodstove in the LR to make it homey and save on the energy bill which is run on electric baseboards. It takes some compromise and creativity but worth it.[/quote]
