young children? small space? bring it!It's 7:30 a.m. on a school day, and as 6-year-old Max finishes brushing his teeth, he switches spots with his sister Ruby, 9, who hangs her towel on the rack, adjusts the mirror to her height, and grabs her toothbrush from the little bucket mounted on the wall. The kids are moving quickly -- they've got to dress, eat, and be out the door by 8 -- but despite the snug space (6 by 7½ feet, with a third of that taken up by a claw foot tub) the family bathroom scene is no demolition derby. It's more like an intricate dance routine.
"There are no variables," says mom Anne Murdock, for whom a wall blasting renovation to the 100-year-old home was not an option. "Everything has its place, so there's no 'Where s my toothbrush?' panic. The kids know where to find things and where to put them back." All the blasting in the world won't get you that.
