As you are all sick of hearing by now, I am in the process
of cleaning out my house for our garage sale and move. We will be eliminating
at least 2000 square feet, so the task is rather large.
Today I began work on the playroom. It is very likely that
our new home will not have a playroom. We will be lucky to have a nook for an
office. So, as I sort through Dylan’s toys, it is the big items that I am
looking to eliminate. She has a plastic desk that my dad and step mom got her
that has been added to the garage sale pile. It’s plastic, it’s small, it
doesn’t have much room for storage, and she has a lovely wood table that suits
her artistic needs perfectly.
We are also getting rid of her giant plastic kitchen. This
thing is HUGE. She hasn’t played with it in over a year, so she’s not too upset
about losing it. I’d keep it for Max, but as I said, it’s enormous. Given the
love of food around here, I do love having a play kitchen for the kids. And, I’d
like Max to have one when he gets a little older. I think I found the solution
last week. Check out this awesome kitchen by Via Toy Box. I read about it on
Baby Gadget. One of the things I love about this (in addition to the fact that
the colors are customizable, it’s modular and it is wood, not plastic) is that
it converts to a storage box when the kids no longer want to use it as a
kitchen.
