BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME.

IN PREPARATION FOR THE HOLIDAYS,

I TRANSFORMED MY ATTIC INTO...

The object was to repurpose many of my children's old things

and make them worthy of the next generation.

Blake's circus trunk, all the rockers and tables

and even the doll house was from over 20 years ago.

YES, I HAVE BEEN SAVING THEM THAT LONG

FOR THIS OCCASION.

...AND THE BLUE SHUTTERS...were from my little girls' playhouse.

I made my husband save them the day he tore it down!

The column in the middle of the room became an apple tree. They are

attached with velcro, so they can be picked!

I covered this old table with bathroom tile, used peel and stick kitchen flooring, and

used all my old frames with vintage children's book prints.

The desk, a family treasure

The Play Table I named "Gramma-town" and made street signs etc with my

grandchildren's names. Then Gramma-town was decorated for Christmas!

It was worth all the work when I got the reaction I was waiting for!

Just wait til Easter...
