Right now, we have a makeshift playroom in the room that will actually be the Dining Room. We're getting the big table that my mom had made for her kitchen shipped to KC from VA, hopefully sometime in the next month. Until then, the amount of toys we have fit best in that room, which is also out of sight as you enter the front door - thank goodness.
I also wanted to make the boy's bedroom upstairs feel cozy and welcoming, and I think T needs a special place of his own so he can get away from his younger brother when he wants to play with small things that are off-limits to little hands. Their room is big and used to be the guest room where we stayed when we visited A's mom. It's painted a pretty gray, which I've decided to keep for now. It has lots of windows (and can get pretty cold) and enough space for a bed, crib, changing table, bookshelf, glider, and a kid's table with chairs.
One of my first mini-projects was painting an old table A's mom left behind when she moved out. It was chipped black paint with wobbly legs that I just tightened, then quickly and lightly sanded and spray painted two shades of lime green. I thought about painting pictures on the top, or using stencils, but I found some cool transfers at the Crayola store to put on instead.
T has been using it as his Coloring and Cutting Station, not suitable for toddlers according to him, but G doesn't agree, as you can see.
