New Play Room

So this weekend, I kinda had a breakdown. I was so tired of feeling like I was sitting in a messy, unorganized pile of junk at my house that I realized I had to do something. David suggested to do this a few weeks ago, but I wasn't sure, then my mom brought it up the other day and I realized that it might be time. We have a large extra bedroom upstairs in our townhouse which really doesn't get used. It has a huge closet and has previously been just a room to put the extra furniture that we don't use other places in the house. We never used the room, except to run on the treadmill. We decided to make it into a new play room/upstairs family room, and I LOVE IT! I can't believe I didn't do this earlier. We cleaned out the closet of a lot of Tessa's baby stuff that we don't use anymore and put it in the garage to store. We also moved the treadmill to the garage. On one side of the garage we put a bunch of carpet squares down so that it's a clean play area out there too. Then we threw out a bunch of stuff that we didn't need and organized what we had left. David, Alissa and I (and the kids) went to IKEA yesterday and I bought a desk with a cubby organizer attached, a separate cubby organizer for all Tessa's toys, a new desk chair and a new lamp. I later found some great decorations and another lamp when I was shopping with my mom. We moved another comfy chair into the room, so there are two, enough for both David and I to sit and relax. We also put the nicer tv that was in our bedroom into the new playroom and moved the old tv that was in there into our bedroom. My dad got a little mini fridge for us so that we can keep drinks and snacks up here and we are all set to go. I absolutely love it. Tessa is having a great time in it too. She can move around and play and I don't have to worry about her getting into stuff that she shouldn't because it's a "Tessa-friendly" room. I know that we're going ot be spending a lot of time up here. Thanks so much to David, Alissa, Mom and Dad for your help!!!! I can't believe it took me so long to get this ball rolling!! I'll try and post some pictures later!
