Panning around the room clockwise from the door.
The cubbies had to come in here. Joanna gets so neurotic about her toys when Natalie goes to bed. She cries as she grabs as many as she can before I shut the door. So for her sanity and mine, the toys had to come out of the girls' room!
I've started moving my work stuff into the room since these pics were taken. Now where the babies are is my big bookcase from the dining room.
In the closet is her little playhouse. The small bookcase you'll see soon is there now, too.
Under the window is a little cabinet we had around and the little cubbies for little toys. There's a dresser (perfect height for standing and working) where the little bookcase is now.
For now, the kitchen is here, too. It'll get moved once I build my big table. My plan is for it to go from the window to the open door. It'll be as deep as from the wall to the edge of the window.
This is last time for awhile that the bookcase will look like this. Joanna loves taking books off the shelves in large quantities.
A close-up of the little cabinet. I've put dress-up kinds of things inside.
Joanna's favorite thing to do is empty it and crawl inside.

Some wire rack cubbies for extra storage in the closet wing.
I'm going to put a file cabinet in this closet wing... once I find one.
So far we just love the room! I've moved in a rocking chair so I don't always need to sit on the floor, and Natalie's exersaucer is usually in there, too. I'm hoping to get a little TV hooked up (we need Sesame Street, you know!) and I may bring my computer in there and work off the dresser for now. It's really coming together! I'm getting to clear out drawers and shelves and organize things as I move them into the room. I like the idea of eventually having all my craft and office supplies in one room instead of sprinkled throughout the house. I've also actually filled up one medium sized box of books to sell. That's unheard of for me! I still have more books than bookcases, though -- the eternal struggles we bookworms face. :)
OK, for the critter in the middle..I'm definitely going to have to go with a Poppel! That has to be it..I recognize the little tail at the end :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a popple, for sure! I LOVED Popples when I was little, and my Popple suitcase is still living at my parents' house, but is coming here eventually...couldn't get rid of it! And somewhere around their house is my baby popple...the white one, you know? Beth and I both had one. YAY!!
ReplyDeleteAnd LOVE the room and all the storage/organizational stuff! I can't wait till Sam is big enough (or Josh is trustworthy enough not to hurt Sam) to put them together, and we will be making a dedicated playroom, so that there aren't so many toys out everwhere all over the house! And we'll need to get some closets/cabinets for some more organized toy storage, too. Anyway, slightly jealous, but love it...wish I could be more organized, but I just don't have the time, it seems like!
