It is officially PLAYTIME!

Over the past couple of weeks, Philip and I have been working diligently on the completion of Kinsley's playroom in the basement as part of our gift to her for her BIG 1st birthday this weekend!!!


For the few years that we have lived in this house, this particular room has sat bare, unused, except for the small rare special occasions where it was converted to a seaside dining area for a dear friend's baby shower, and where it barely fit a huge ping-pong table for our Pool Party Luau two summers ago.


This room has been patiently awaiting its sole purpose in this home...and this weekend, it finally all came together. Welcome to Kinsley's Playroom! A fully functional, child-proof (well, as much as one can be) room that is perfect for family fun, baby's laughter, taking first steps, and lots of memories. The plethora of fun toys that have been arriving in the mail and consuming the trunk of my SUV finally have a permanent place to call home!

These letters were hand-painted and hung in a straight line (thanks to my laser level) by yours truly.

I was so unbelievably happy with how they turned out...and considering how much Kinsley already loves The Alphabet Song, I think she will grow up enjoying them as well! :)

Now, if I could only finalize the remainder of the 1st birthday celebration preparations......
