I wanted to create a place where I can share photos of our home and projects we are doing. This blog much like our home is still very much a work in progress. I do have photos of completed projects for the Twins Bedroom, the Dining Room, the Kitchen and the Playroom. Take a look around I have a Floor Plan Page to help you navigate through our house.

The Playroom

The Black 'stripe' through the middle is painted w/chalkboard paint so

they have a big chalkboard to write on through out the entire space :-)

Toy Storage

The very LOVED Train Table

The Art Table (when I start to trust them the cups will be filled w/art supplies) For now we are practicing w/crayolas color wonder, they stuff that will only show color on special paper :-)

A place to display all the wonderful art projects they bring home from Preschool. I made the "ART Gallery" vinyl letters w/my Silhouette machine

This Play Kitchen doubles as a great place to store all their Kitchen Toys/Food

Utensil storage for the kitchen

I made these pictures with some great graphics I bought through Stampin Up. Im really loving their "My Digital Studio" software

The Book Storage, a great idea I got from

http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com (using spice racks from Ikea)

The Reading Corner

I saw this on ETSY a while ago and thought it was so cute, and with as much as Evan and Taryn love planes I wanted to add it to their playroom. I was happy that I was able to find one w/3 kids in it...so cute :-)

We had these storage units for a while and they used to be the black/brown color but I decided I wanted white so I painted them. We already had most of the basket storage from previous uses but did splurge on the drawer and cabinet inserts. I love all the storage it provides and we were even able to turn one of the units on its side and create a bench. I sewed all the pillows to make some cushions for it. I'm not the best seamstress but my work is good enough for a child's playroom :-)

Also the green painted area behind the bench is painted w/magnetic primer so it is a big magnet board the kids can play with.

I bought these wood letters a long time ago to do something for the twins with them but I never did. So when we were putting together their playroom I thought what better to do with them but hang the alphabets in their play space Stampin UP came out w/so super cute paper this year that just fit perfect in the space.
