And then he was here, and he actually owned and used a tape measurer!!! Wow, I was in heaven.
Even with our limited space (one room) I wanted the boys to have their own area, somewhere to draw, and put their toys to, and somewhere to retreat when the games with the cousins get a bit too much.
Here's the amount of stuff we left home.
This is how it looked "unloaded" into the room we call home these days, day two after arrival.
The kids corner is just about ready. It was a double bed we bought last summer which was too high, too long and too wide. So I made a plan to have it turned into a sleeping/playing area. The table is as old as anyone can remember, I painted it white and added a ikea (yes, I came with it) hanger and a paper roll. Love the fact that they always have paper ready when they want to grab a pen and do some art. All the pens and other craft supplies are hanging in kitchen storage boxes, just there for the easy access.
The carpenter made the shelf for the toy storage and we hung spice racks for books. Add a ladder and bedding for the sleeping area, box to hold their clothes and it was done!
Some wood (from a coconut tree that was cut down from the front yard), local craftsmanship, and red buckets :)
It's home for now.... It took j 3 mins to start drawing and then climb upstairs for a nap. Now M is discovering all the nice things he can now see and play with. Happy kids, happy mama <3
M busy with stamps
And reading a book
J testing the bed
P.s. Sorry for the bad quality pics, that's what you get with iPad indoors :)
