Orien is just a year and our so-called "playroom" is already overflowing with toys and random, mis-matched furniture for storage. We needed to do something soon! The way my brain works is: "cheap, cheap, cheap"...the way Brett's brain works is: "call the contractor, call the contractor".
Sooo...needless to say, the contractor came over last week. He may be able to start this Friday, fingers crossed! We decided to have him build a large storage/desk unit on one side of the wall (the side where you can see the white and tan shelves currently - see below). The unit will have tons of shelves, and on the bottom will have drawers and a mini computer desk in the middle. The contractor said it would be good for resale to do the computer desk. That way a teen or whoever makes that their room can put their tv or laptop there. We also decided to have him put in beat board all around the room. That will give this room a more custom look.
The queen bed will be moved out of there, giving Orien a LOT more play space! That bed will be moved to the back room that is currently and collection of unused items and an old bed of Brett's. My aunt will take that bed, and we'll move the queen in there. Eventually we'll have that room painted (since it's currently hot pink with marker drawings on the wall) and turned into the guest room. But it won't stay a guest room for long...
When Orien is old enough to sleep in a big boy bed, we'll make that his room. Then when baby #2 comes along, the nursery will be freed up! And NO I'm not even close to wanting to have baby #2 so don't get any ideas :)
Below I posted some "before" pictures of the playroom how it currently looks. Leah of course had to jump in the pictures.
Such a ham!
This is a rare view of a CLEAN playroom!
Poor baby has bad allergies...he looks like a mess in the photo!
