The Growing Art Gallery

So, our dining room has never really inspired me. When we first moved in we used it for its designated purpose. We had a fancy antique table, chairs and everything. It was incredibly boring.
The room has transformed many times over and now, I think I'm finally happy with it.
We moved our small rusty formica table with not a single matching chair out into the kitchen and turned the dining room into a playroom. It was the best decision, ever. And guess what? The kids actually play in it!





The room, although forever cluttered, now has a life and an energy. One of my more favorite additions (besides the shelving that Tim custom made) is the Art Gallery. Audrey loves it, too. I really need another wall or two with all of her creative craftiness. Maybe it's time to add on to the back of the shack? Hm.


And then there are her book reports for school. I just love these. I look forward to doing "homework" with her every week.


And Harper has even begun to make her mark:

Isn't that awesome? I want to write a book based on the character "Goodnight".
Genius.

P.S. The pink violin is on its way. (Or the pink fiddle, whichever you prefer.)
