The house we rent isn’t super big, but it has a lot of rooms. We have 4 bedrooms, a secret room, garage, and huge yard, but only one bath. Downstairs is the living room, kitchen, bathroom, girls’ room, and playroom/craft room. Upstairs is a long hallway which we use as a reading area, Owen’s room, our bedroom, and off our bedroom is a secret little semi=finished room Charlie uses as his art room.
Recently we got a new dining table (photos soon to come) and I plan to by my friend’s couch. We are repainting the kitchen white. The bathroom is all done, and I’ll put photos up one day. Upstairs we are still working on a little on each room, which goes the same for downstairs. The craft room is where I create and it also serves at the playroom. It used to be the girls’ room and the piano was in the dining area, so we never really had a dining area. Then when we decided to move the girls’ room to the smaller room and make their room the craft/play room, we moved the piano in there and WA LA! We had a real dining table! Not only that, but we have a nice multipurpose room: piano, playroom, and mom art making room. Moo and I love anything in the turquoise family, so we painted it this nice lighter blue-green trim with light blue walls.
The kitchen is kind of small now for the kids, and I’d like to redo it, same goes for the trofast toys storage. I like it, but I want an activity table where the kids can play on or draw/make are on, yet store their toys and supplies underneath.
This is my desk, opposite the kitchen and storage. I had to put my sewing machine up there when I’m not using it because Bubbers kept trying to destroy it. As you can see, I have too much crap.
My little gnome and bird house that sits on top of my piano, next to the kids’ money jars…kind of like their little savings.
Charlie painted this dresser drawer for me with his cute character a few years ago for my birthday. The little ceramic thing in front is Moo’s kitty.
I’d still like to put up some type of art hanging system for the kids’ art and hang more of my and Charlie’s art in there. Then there’s redoing the activity table, kitchen, and I think that’s it for that room…for now at least.
