Playroom

A few months ago, I decided Avery's room was bursting with toys.  I swore I would not be the mother who had a child with so.many.toys.  Toys spoil, I don't want to spoil, kids learn better without a bunch of stuff around them, blah, blah, blah.  Yeah, let's chalk that one up to GPP (Grand Parenting Plan) #101 thrown out the window.  Let's just say my child has some toys and leave it at that - parenting is all about eating humble pie, right?

Anyway, we had a basement room not in use and it had a bed in it.  What else could a playroom need, I ask?  So I set about converting it to a playroom.  In my world, this does not mean I decorated it or anything like that.  It means I took the bed off the frame to make it more kid friendly and pushed it into the corner, then filled the room with toys and declared it a playroom.  Here are some long overdue pictures of said playroom.  Now that I see the pictures, we should really get some art work on that wall, but I digress and simply present the demise of GPP #101:

Note toddler height of bed; also useful for mommy naps whilst playing

 

In-progress kitchen play area - it really needs a pot filler*

  

*(ha! RHG that one's for you)

Yet another kitchen view ... really milking the kitchen shots here

  

Toy armoire  

(the unopened box on the left is a rocking horse that D insisted we not open after I came home with a plethora of toys one day)

Tent, pillows, toy bin

(Note: Avery's favorite toy, a huge stuffed dog given to her by BM Nikki is located in her room so she can play with it everyday)

 

Bin o' balls, learning cube, old phone
