Dining Room to Play Room

There comes a time, many times actually, in every parent's life where you have to make sacrifices for your children. Our dining room is the most recent victim.

I remember when buying our house 4 years ago being so excited to finally have a formal dining room. I'd be able to display my china and crystal! We found the perfect dining room set; table, seating for 6, and matching china cabinet. Here we are 4 years later, with a dining room looking exactly like when we fist moved in...empty.

This is the future location of Landon and Carter's play room. Toys have taken over the house, mostly train tracks, Matchbox cars, and Legos. Oh, the Legos!

I have great ideas for this room, including an awesome light fixture, funky picture frame/cork board art displays, chalkboard paint, a drop-leaf table for Lego building and floating shelves to display the final product, and tons of cubicle storage space.

Stay tuned to watch this room come to fruition.
