House Art.

We have this great room in our house. The builder finished the entire space above the three car garage and attached it all to our upstairs family room. The result is a huge, open finished room that, the first time I saw it, knew would be the ideal place to keep all of our toys, books, puzzles and games.

The boys run, jump, vroom cars, listen to music, and have a great old time in this space, and I continually tell Mark that if we ever build a house, we're putting this same type of space in it (as I romantically think of bunk beds of boys lining the walls).

The new obsession in our house is coloring. Our big boy wakes up to color, colors during naptime, stays up late to color, and basically colors whenever he gets a chance to. Our upstairs garage room is the perfect place to display his work. The bright colors make me happy while dealing with a backdrop of white walls and a white outside.

Maybe the weather or their stage of development, but my 4.5 year old is a drawing/crafting/paper cutting & stapling machine lately too!!! I have stacks of paper that he has been drawing on, but unfortunately not the great gallery space you do!

Must be a combination of the cold and the perfect age. We both have blossoming artists!

You know, I bet you have space on your kitchen cabinets for all of his creations ;-) .
