Just A Glimpse

Here's a peek into our multipurpose {loft} room.

It serves us as a school/TV/computer/play room for the girls.

It's an open-floor concept with bullnose corners {like the rest of the house}

that can make painting colors a challenge.

Where do you stop and start another color??

It may be hard to see it in these pics,

but I simply painted 2 walls {that didn't round to another wall} blue.

Problem solved.  We love it!

{I'll show more when we get the sofas in there.}

We're still using the decor that graced their nurseries.

Old teddy bears.

When it came time to put the bears in the attic, we

{okay, mostly ME} could NOT part with them just yet.

I'm so thankful for all of my new {Ikea} shelving!

I have 2 tall units on either side of the TV and a shorter one underneath.

All of my piles are now off of the floor.

{deep sigh of relief}

Can a get a Java-lujah?

 

What's a room without an American Girl catalog?

We have our educational priorities, you know. ;)

Our girls still play with their dollhouses.

I love every minute {of the many} they spend using their imaginations.

I should keep trying to record their dialogue.

They've caught me each. time.

I hear them in there right now.

Playing and listening to Christmas music.

Their snowman tree will be going up this weekend.

Excitement is in the air.

 

At some point, I know dollhouse pieces will be lined up in a row and...
The Loving Family will gather to eat at the table.

Thanksgiving dinner maybe?
After walking through Hobby Lobby one day, Nator was giving me her soap-box speech about everyone putting up their Christmas decorations so early and seemingly forgetting about Thanksgiving.  I had to remind her that we like to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Christmas tree, too.  Oh... she hadn't thought of that.  ;)

Do you notice anything peculiar about the grandmas at this Loving Family feast?
I promise you.
In real life, their grandma wears her skirt...
to the dinner table. ;)

You gals are the best.
Our circumstances haven't changed today,
but we're changing our perspectives. ;)
