The Playroom is Open for Bizness

Last year we had a contractor finish off 2 extra spaces in our house (1 over the garage which is the playroom, and 1 attached to our bedroom which is my "craft" room for all the crafts I never finish).  So far, the playroom has sat cute, bright blue, and sadly empty.  Until now---the grand opening has come!  Amaryllis is old enough to go up/down the stairs with supervision and she's trustworthy enough to be on her own in this back part of the house.  Yay!

This little kitchen was my Grandma's and I remember playing with it when we visited New Mexico.  I think it's changed hands a couple times since then, but somehow it ended up at the beach house and my mom said I could have it.  

I was skeptical at first...it looked like too much work for me and it smelled funky inside.  But I saw the potential...and a couple layers of canary yellow paint did the trick!

Amaryllis ran to it the first time she saw it and hugged it like this:

It looks perfect in this bright little room (you can't tell from the pictures, but the walls are a cheerful blue) & it looks cute with the Topsail Island painting Jake got me for Valentine's Day.

Remember the purple tutu Auntie Meredith made?  

Amaryllis found it.  I think she will be a dress-up kind of girl.  She loves wearing things on her head.

Wearing a diaper on her head at church.

If she can't find a hat to wear, she puts a washcloth on her head and walks around with it.  She also drapes a tape measure around her shoulders & puts cups on her feet pretending they are shoes.

And now here is a picture for Auntie Mel, because we both have evil streaks in us since we love pictures of crying/mad/sad babies.
