Changing It Up


The table where the girls have their tea parties used to sit in our Family Room right below our picture wall.  Now that Brooklyn is able to get up and down from the table on her own I thought I would move it back into the kitchen so they could use the table to eat their breakfast, lunch and dinner on it.


They were supposed to both eat at the little table but Kayla prefers to sit at the big table with Mommy and Daddy so sweet little Brooklyn has her very own table to eat at for every meal.


The Family Room was looking pretty boring with nothing there since I moved out the table so I brought out the chair we had in our bedroom and added some pillows.  I also took an old toolbox and turned it on it's side to use as a little side table.  It is usually piled high with the girls books but since they were sleeping I got to make it look how I wanted it to look for a few hours.


I had also been wanting to replace my black frames with some distressed white ones for awhile now and now that all of our furniture is white I thought it would look much better.  I had a few white frames around the house and I also found a few stored away in a closet that were not white so I went ahead and painted and then distressed them.  I only had to buy one which I got from Pottery Barn using a gift card I had. 





The original reason for changing to all white frames was because I wanted to change out all the black and white pictures and replace them with color ones.  Once I got all of the pictures up I realized I really like the mix of the black and white mixed in with the color pictures.



I finally feel like our Family Room is done although now I need a chair for our Master Bedroom ;)
