Room Renovation- TA-DA!

TA-DA!!!!

Its DONE. It took 5 days as planned. Still needs curtains but we'll get there eventually.

So above you see Maya's craft area. She has a full sized kitchen table centered in the bay windows with a hanging light over it. Behind the table are three 3 drawer bins containing all of her craft supplies by category. There is a place for everything so nothing has to sit out

(in theory;) Her clothes wrack sits over her heater making for fast drying. From the door everything looks so neat.

Here is her 'wall o toys'. This house is so tall that we always have to make the most of the UP space. So we game Maya a wall of shelving. With the help of her little chair she can reach everything except the tippy top. Under the shelves are some of her old bins with big-ish random toys. The bottom shelf has a row of 6 wash tubs. These each contain one type of toy.....Bobble Heads in one, Barbies & Brats in another, B & B accessories and clothing, itty bitty toys/ animals/ cars/ you name it, Leap Frog type hand held games, & finally audio tapes and view master stuff. This took care of the bulk of the tangle. Up from there are the Legos, Linking Logs, small doll houses, some still loved Duplos. Up from there are books (the keepers- we got rid of easily 200),Mr. Potato Head, a train track. Then the rest are big and cute things and fially some decorations.

Her bed is sticking out from one wall with space all around. This allowed space for a chair for the big bed time story reader. That chair was an old SA find from years ago. It had an ugly blue fabric on it. On a whim I decided to peak under the fabric and found that it was originally a mint green vinyl . It too was tattered but way retro and totally cute with the pink paint! Vayda donated her bed spread because it matched Mayas room better than her own. Along side of the bed is "the wall of art". This consists of a new write and wipe board and 3 lines of wire and 60 or so pastel colored clothes pins. We pinned up some of Mayas old favorite 'works' but left lots of room for new creations. Her little table made for a good vanity, all the dress up clothes are at the foot of her bed in a toy chest, and her dresser and giant collection of stuffed toys are all tucked neatly into the closet.

ORGANISATION is a beautiful thing!!!! The cool thing is that Maya really loves being able to find her things. So far she is tidying up every day. Its easy now so she doesnt mind.

Now the inside of our house is nearly finished too.
