play area finished!

the kids toy space is now pretty organised & streamlined.. from this to this-

bit nicer huh?

it's now very functional, especially with the addition of the lovely wooden table & chairs, and much more baby friendly too, with the dolls house off the floor, and smaller toys on the top shelf of the re-purposed bookshelf (hidden benefit to clearing out books!). Yes, we still have the castle, it is now home to a box of books, a box of dress-ups & playsilks, and a doll's cot full of dolls & teddies. The crates of wooden blocks & train tracks now live in cubbies under the dolls house, and the kids art work is now displayed in their own gallery on the wall too ;-)

and the toys are predominantly & increasingly made from natural materials too :-)

and i just noticed that we have an orange balloon in almost the same place in both the before & after pics! how odd, it's not like we usually have them, the first was from a birthday, this one is because lil' miss found a stash in our emergency kit! lol...

Far out! That looks great - I adore the bookshelf! And I have the same babyhood table and chairs at home, aren't they great.

razz, sure.. once i've finished my place.. you probably won't *have* a play area by then! ;)

gypsy yeah i was really impressed with the price & quality of the table & chairs, and they look so purdy compared to similar priced ones! lexi loves it, we even make buns there ;)
