The TOY room....

We got another room put together tonight - the second most important room next to getting Ana's room done - THE TOY ROOM!

Eric's comment tonight was - I am slowly getting my garage back....

This was quite a feat - and as we were going through these toys and putting them away (which we did after the kids were in bed) - we just kept commenting on how many of these toys we DIDN'T Buy and yet how many we still HAVE!


This is a view from the living room looking back toward the area just at the bottom of the stairs - we actually hadn't planned to use this area as a toy area....but alas we had no other option....so for now it will hold some of the "bigger" toys.


Looking back towards the slider door -


One half of the toy room - some day this actually will just be a storage room but for now it works perfectly for this and even has a door to hide the mess!


Looking the other direction....


Putting our IKEA shelves that we've always used in the kitchen to good use in the toy room now!!
We are actually looking forward to the kids' reaction to this room in the morning - it will be like Christmas all over for them - much of these toys have been packed away for months now.....which I know - begs the question if our kids have survived this long without them do they really probably need them....some day this household will have one good yard sale - watch out!

What a great toy room! I LOVE that you can just close the door on the inevitable mess!! The basement is looking great.
