My Creative Nook, And Other Big Ideas

Ellie's desk and the coloring desk (eventually for Kailey) in the back.
New desk and kid movie collection (notice the dog tail-between tripping over her and holding the baby, the pics aren't as good as I'd like)
My new scrapbook desk

Well, the first room in our home makeover is mostly finished. Matt built me a scrapbooking table based on a picture I'd seen in a magazine. I made a few design changes based our room, and he built it. It's wonderful! So big, plenty of room to spread out. He built Ellie her own desk in the corner for her drawing and art. And he built a low table for coloring. I am going to recover some pillows for them to sit on the floor. We need to straighten out the closet a bit more. It's pretty organized, but needs a little more attention, now that we took the doors off. That made so much more room in there. And find a new home for a few things, like the bookshelf with all Matt's computer books. And we took out that mostrosity of a desk we had and got something much smaller. We just piled junk on in anyways. Anyways, I'm so proud of it and my wonderful husband for building it. Now if the baby would just let me use it :)

We are working on the kitchen and playroom this weekend. Not nearly the project that the office was. Just painting and organizing and decluttering. I really, really want to get some of the clutter out of my house. We had to pack up and move so fast, I really didn't have time sort as much as I needed to. And I was too tired when I was pregnant. So now that I have much more energy, I am going to get as much done as I can.

Next hopefully will be our bedroom and bathroom. Both need painted. I am a serious fan of the $5 rack at home depot. We've painted tons of stuff based on paint we've found here. And it is much easier picking out colors. You either like it and it will work, or you don't. My kind of decision making right there.
