I've wanted Olivia to have a playroom for a while, but in a 3 bedroom house it can be quite hard. We grew out of this house about 2 weeks after we moved in, that's when we found out I was pregnant-great timing huh?!?! Well I always thought we had a good size house until Olivia arrived-we moved the office into the dining room(it was going to be in her room) and wanted to keep a spare bedroom for any guests or for Paul to sleep in when he made me mad-HAHAHA:) I also kept my scrapbook stuff in there so it was out of the way. I finally broke down this week and packed up my scrapbook stuff and made the spare bedroom into playroom for Olivia. We left the bed and dresser but put as many of her toys in there as we could. She LOVES having her own room to play in, I can't keep her out of there. Here are a few shots of her *payroom* as she calls it...
Cleaning up also meant I could finally get my foyer back. Last year Olivia got a ball pit from Nanny and Poppy and since we didn't have a playroom we put it in the foyer, then at Christmas we put the tree there. I was debating on putting the kitchen there this year but we of course got a playroom so Mommy got her foyer back and I love it. It's like new found room in our house, I'm not walking into things in the middle of the night or dodging toys, tables, and other junk when I walk around me house. I'm so happy about that:)
Lastly, Paul finally got around to putting my drawer and cabinet pulls on....LOVE IT!! I've been looking at them for the 2 1/2 years we've been in the house but we just didn't have the money in our budget to get them, they were a want not a need. If you've ever priced cabinet pulls they are around $4 each and I needed 35 of them to complete my kitchen so we've waited until now. These were in my stocking and I was so excited about it. Paul started putting them on the other day and I'm completely in love with them and the ease of opening my drawers and cabinets. Olivia seems to like them too she was pulling the drawers open and closed last night laughing since it was so easy for her now, thank goodness we have the cabinets locked so she can't get in. Aren't they pretty, they look fantastic in my kitchen???
And what's a post without a shot of my beautiful daughter. Look at that BIG smile on her face, isn't she just a doll?!?!?
