The den has been many things but has never been used much. I decided over winter break to turn it into a craft room/office/play area. We had craft supplies all over the house and now they have one home. Most everything the kids owned was covering the beloved kitchen table we had for years. The problem is, as big as the table was there was no place to eat on it. It was covered in toys, art projects and books and was an eye soar.. We bought a smaller kitchen table that is off limits to toys and moved the other table into the den.
It was already covered in war wounds and craft scars and I can't get rid of it. There are alot of memories associated with this table. One look at the fork marks where little Fieldin used to sit and you know the table is loved. It is a big and very heavy table and I am so glad it worked in this room. I hope it keeps clutter in the kitchen at bay and I hope lots of memories are still made on this table.
The table in its new home. There is a bench on the end that is cozy and Fieldin likes the idea of making forts to sleep in under it. Below are the art cubbies. I still have a closet full of yarn and supplies but this is the stuff we use most often.
Now I can set up the sewing machine more often for Greta and I, so I found some storage to hold fabric to use.
The bench is a favorite place for reading it seems.
