we (i with mark's consent :) ) decided that it was time avery have a room to herself. she has her own bedroom but since she is a kid and her job is to play it's only fair for her to have a space that is just for that! so we said goodbye to our dining and hello to our new playroom. it's a work in progress and i realize it will take some time to complete. especially, since we are trying to do it for as little money as possible. but, i can promise you this - when we win the lottery everyone should buy pottery barn stock because that's where i'm going to re-decorate. but, in the mean time we're doing it ourselves (with the help of aunt allison!) i'm still deciding on a color but it will be a shade of yellow! as much as i'd love a pink room, it's not really the color you want to see first thing when you walk into a house! if anyone has any suggestions i am open. i'm also working on a photo collage to go about the cubbies but won't put those up until it's painted!

our new "cubbies" so all the toys have a home! this makes mommy happy! you can also see her new pink rug that she loves. she crawls and just sits on the rug.

the chair from mimi is a nice furniture piece that goes well too!

this table used to be mine when i was a kid. aunt allison and i sanded it down after scraping all of the glue and other crap i had put on it. then this weekend i painted it white!
