Decorating 101

Seems there is no end to the planning and decorating we have done since the major renovation at our home four years ago.  Room by room, we've finally finished the first floor.  I now have a kitchen, dining room, family room and music room that I love.  Hubby decorated the first floor bathroom and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the great job he did.

It's time to move on to the second floor where our daughter's room is.  Now that she's four and going to pre-school, I've been thinking about buying her a desk where she can do her crafts and art projects to keep them off our kitchen table.  But I find the work surface on a standard desk isn't big enough to accommodate some of her projects.  Then it hit me.  Why not take a look at some drop leaf tables.  Plenty of room when it's needed and a space saver when it's not being used.  Throw a blanket over it and she has a cute fort to play in and a great place to hide.  Check out these little beauties I found at www.diningroomsdirect.com

And how cool is this one for bedside!

Throw in some new bedding, new drapes and a couple of cozy chairs and I think we might just have another room finished!
