Show Us Where You Live Friday: Playroom & Laundry Room

Kelly over at Kelly'sKorner is hosting Show Us Where You Live Friday again. Today's Rooms are your playroom,bonus room, or laundry room. I'm showing today our messy playroom for the kids and my laundry room. Both are still a work in progress.


Here is my laundry room. It's right off the kitchen. To the right is a door to the outside garage.


Here it is with the lights off and just the lamp on in there.





Here's our mini schnauzer Libby Mae's bed with her toys. She doesn't sleep there though.



Her water and food bowl.


My knobby Knee birds that I saw on another blog and loved.


Some of my shelving to hold clothes and Libby's food.



My "laundry" definition I saw on another blog that I thought was a neat idea.



This holds Libby's snacks and other things I want hidden.





My washboard that I got at a antique store.

My laundry sign that I won from a blog giveaway over at TwiceAsNice



There's still several things I plan to do to my laundry room such as paint the cabinets and get hardware, get some more things for the shelves, and I'm waiting for a frame with chicken wire to put some pics and other things in.
Now onto the playroom or our Florida Room that we've turned into the kids playroom. It works great because its right off the living room and our bedroom so we can see the kids whether we're in the living room,kitchen,our bedroom, or the hallway.

This is the view from our bedroom french doors. We never use these doors so Dawson has his train table here but it's fixing to come out soon for more room. That trampoline thing is Ansley's from our in-laws for Christmas. They figured she needed something to jump on after she jumped off our couch and hit her head on our coffee table. The kids love that thing. That window straight across is our kitchen.



Here's the view from the other side of the room. Those french doors are to our bedroom.


Here's the kids tv. The shelf under it holds wii games, puzzles,games,books,etc. My goal is to get a armoire in the playroom to put those games,puzzles,movies, and their art stuff in so I can use the shelf for books and get their art desk out also as it takes up alot of room. The toy box to the right is Ansley's. Dawson's is in his room that is just like it but he does have a smaller one for his stuff in the playroom also.


Here's a closer look at most of Ansleys stuff. Her kitchen,dollhouse, their table, and that art table in the back that I want to move out of their. It holds their coloring books,paper,etc. right now. I want to put baskets in the armoire to hold the coloring books and things. I'm on the lookout on Craigslist. That black basket on their table holds markers,crayons,color pencils,stickers,stencils .

Another view. All Ansley's strollers. That smaller toy box is Dawson's.

This is the view into the room from the french doors in the living room. My goal is to get some chairs or bean bags where his train table is at now for the kids when they're watching movies. I'd also like to get a kids rug.
Sorry for the picture overload.

I love those birds! Could you please post where they came from! I would love some!

Clarksville has every chain restaurant you could ever want! We have 2 O'Charleys!! I would stay off of Exit 4 (on I-24). This is the exit where you will find anything and everything, hotels, food etc. It is Wilma Rudolph Boulevard. A really neat place to eat is Old Chicago (they have great pizza!).

Love the rooms! I love that the playroom is so visible from your other rooms in the house!

Shana said...

Our downtown is really fun! My favorite place in Clarksville is Hodge Podge! You should def check that out!! You should have breakfast at Blondie's and have the Blackhorse for lunch! All of that is on the same street, Franklin street.
