Complete!

Our sun room is complete! Well, actually they still have to install the window sills, which will be done on Monday, but otherwise it is done! Here are a few pictures. Again, I do apologize that they are not better pics. One day I will get around to taking that photography class. You know, in my spare time.


And here we have storage. Ahhh...so wonderful. My kids cannot wait to cram the cupboards full of toys and games. In fact, Hulk, Spiderman, a giraffe and that clown from Gymboree are already residing in the cabinets.


There is still much to do. We are going to do a major sort of all toys and keep only the ones we really play with. Hmm...seems I did this just a couple of months ago. Anyway, toys will all be re-sorted and labeled into clear containers with lids and stashed neatly away in the new cabinets. We will be so organized! I am not saying that I will never again step on another Bristle block in the middle of the night, but I think my chances of doing so will be greatly decreased.

The paint color is not too evident in these pictures, but we went with a nice calming light green. It looks good with the dark wood. Emma was v. disappointed we did not go with her choice of pink paint, so I have promised her a pink room. Finally. I must start on that project next week. Poor Emmie has wanted pink walls for 4 years now. It is about time I honored her wishes. Aidan said he would like orange walls, but thankfully he is super easy-going and is just happy to have a new room to hang out in.

Now for the fun stuff -- I get to choose some fabrics and furnishings! We have not even begun our search. Brandon and Emma have been sick, and I got sick this week as well. Hopefully I will feel much better next week so I can do a little shopping. We want to keep everything kid friendly which roughly translates to WASHABLE. So far that is the only thing I am not willing to compromise.

So this is the room. We couldn't be happier with the way it turned out!

Hey! Sorry you're sick and my real life got in the way of our shopping this weekend (still nothing new on my grandpa).

BUT, when you're feeling better and life settles for me a bit, I definitely want to watch you shop for your GORGEOUS new room. Maybe sometime this week after work?

And, I just found out that Marimekko has a blog...http://blog.alwaysmod.com This is NOT good :)
