This is how it all started:  We need a larger table to fit us all around.  We don’t have room in our dining room to fit a bigger table, UNLESS we move the school desk and school shelves out.  Where are we going to put those?  Oh, we can put them in our playroom where the sewing stuff and toys are.  Where are we going to put the toys in the playroom?  And the sewing stuff?  Ah, in the hall closet upstairs where the clothes are and in an armoire in our bedroom.  Where are we going to put the clothes?  In the kids’ rooms.  So, we built clothes boxes (thanks to Ana White) and reorganized the walk-in closets. And this is what started it all.

We are slowly updating different rooms in the house because of the above info.  Fresh paint, cleaning/organizing closets etc.  Tobin, Malachi, and Bryant share a bedroom and before Tobin moved into the room, we  Art in progress.  Malachi and Bryant agreed to a vintage train motif.  We opted to paint both boy bedrooms the same colors to simplify.  Just different decor. I used one of our cube storage shelves and turned into a quick diaper changing area. We moved our rocker to their room temporarily (it’s usually in the living rooms). Beside the rocker is Tobin’s clothes box.  He was going through clothes so fast the first six months that there were usually clothes hanging off of it.  Each kid has three baskets with their clothes and these boxes stack fairly well.

This is one of my favorite places to hang out.  It’s comfy and happy.  The boys seem to love it too.
