Okay we all know I can go a little overboard at times, yes? And sometimes I’ll admit that I’m not sure if I can actually pull off what I’ve dreamed up or not. This was one of those projects.
Almost a year ago we started talking about getting E a play kitchen. I spent some time looking at what was out there, and trying to decide what we wanted. A lot of them were pretty, but a bit plastic, and I wasn’t sure how well they’d hold up.
Tom and I have long been a fan of Ikea. It's one of our favorite places to visit together - weird I know. Instead of stressing us out, it makes us excited with possibilities. It helps that our mammoth of a car Penny fits almost everything we could possibly want fairly easily. We don't get there often, so by the time we do, we'll have a years worth of ideas and projects and things we want to get while we're there.
Remember when I shared some pictures of our dining room chairs? And at the end of the post, if you had been paying attention, you would have realized I had no idea what to do with the wall behind the table. At the time I was hanging cards on it, utilizing three screws that were already in the wall when we moved in. It kind of worked, for then anyway, but it definitely wasn't meant as a permanent solution.
