Once upon a time...

We had a really cute dining room that had a beautiful table and chairs. We always pictured ourselves sitting there eating home-made meals as a family, sharing stories about our days, and laughing. I'm not sure what planet or what era I should say I thought I was in, but that table saw no such thing. It's purpose quickly became the place to fold laundry on, throw my purse there, mail was scattered all over the place. The table had no chance to smell a fresh home-made meal or listen to these so-called stories, instead it smelt laundry and was used as a place to temporarily store our junk that we were to lazy to go through or put away.

Now, that we have our second child on the way and we are very limited with space we needed to figure out a way to make living with two children (who come with a lot of toys, and stuff) somewhat manageable. We are looking into getting a new place but we need a change right now. As my husband and I brainstormed what to do we both thought about making our dining room into a play area. We wanted to get more organized with Presley's toys and also make room for Kinley and her new things. Our beautiful table and chairs have now made home in our storage and our once used to be dining room is now a children's play area. Out with design and in with function!
