Well you saw a sneak peek... so here it is just about completed - the kids are loving it
and I must admit, so am I.
We converted what was the "formal" dining room into the kids "Playroom" ...
much better to have their stuff all confined to one room - which will have doors on it eventually...
but for now they help clean and tidy it up at the end of each day.
It's nice to see them proud of their handy work!
Finn LOVED helping me to paint the "lello" wall!
( Although his enthusiasm soon wained as his arms became "zorsted" - as they do!)
I painted and "distressed" ( in more ways than one I think) and old
TV cabinet that we had . Put some fun handles on it
and it's a new piece of furniture!
My bargain $10 clock from the Reject Shop!
I painted the 9 Fruits of the Spirit on mini canvases and hung them.
Never hurts to have reminders.
Finn asks daily what each coloured one says and reminded Ruby the other day to
remember to use the "blue one - that's patience Ruby"
when she was getting frustrated about something!
My gorgeous friend and neighbour gave me this as we had a little joke - she thought that
LOL in computer "speak" meant lots of love....
she saw this and bought it for me so we could LOL each time we see it -
and it was given to me, with her version of LOL!
Thought the kids room was a great home for it!
Another bargain find - $5 from Kmart! I liked its sentiments
I love that my babies are surrounded by colour, light and
cheery- ness
There was some left over paper from the "patchwork" wall so I made their names
in some frames I had lying around!
Now,
I'd love to just show you the colourful bright highlights that make this room fun ....
but I have to be completely honest...
sooooo....
I've also included the "real" images of below adult eye level!
Including the boxes of toys still yet to be sorted and given homes....
be prepared....
perhaps ensure you're sitting down for these next photos!
The photo on the left is Finn's "tidy" pile of cushions,
while the one on the right is the vase of "flowers"
that looks ok from a distance in one of the earlier photos!
( Did I mention BRUTAL honesty??)
Toys yet to be sorted and housed
Even the kids!
Don't say I didn't warn you!
( I did make them smaller though to lessen the impact - see ,I'm thoughtful like that!)
