Toy Room: work in progress

this is our secret toy room.

it was a dark, dungeon hole...with no windows.

paint dark brown.
carpet...dark brown. short. no pad.
the room felt cold. boring.

sorry, no before pics.
(i was pregnant. sick. tired. lazy.)


the new toy room:

paint. carpet. shelves.

that door goes to the backyard.
we have used it maybe three times in one year.
so, i didn't mind blocking it a bit.

when i had tallie, my mom was here.
dad here too...and bored.
so, i put his mad wood working skills to work.

he made each shelf out of one sheet of wood...molding and all.


and i came up with this idea myself...a little built-in pocket.
to hold all of buddies bats, etc.

found these baskets on clearance at lowe's for $5.

kids love their new toy room.
and, did i mention buddy loves monster trucks?
