For 3 weeks I've been working slowly on developing a guest room space that could double as a ping pong room. Yes. You read that right. Over our garage space there are 2 rooms: 1) the "gameroom" where there's a television, the Wii, our old sectional couch and a wingback recliner (don't forget the 'forgotten' toys) and 2) the
empty room. For almost 3 years this room has had nothing in it but random pieces of luggage, odd boxes of junk, a stray blanket, a lonely NERF dart and a wiffle ball. Ty and the boys have used that space to romp around and, well, put dents in. For Christmas Santa brought Witt a ping pong table. I bit my tongue as I was newly pregnant in December and knew the day of room'ical' chairs would happen. So, now 12 weeks before I'm due (assuming he goes full term) begins the move of Witten to the guest room and the guest room to the
empty room to open up the baby's room which was Witt's. Here has been the catch: how do you develop a space comfortable enough for guests to enjoy their stay but keep the ping pong table from being a nuisance but rather a piece of furniture that belongs? BWHAHAHAHA. Men.
Have I mentioned I could care less about the ping pong table? Seriously? ping pong?
Ty and I have a plethora of crap. So, I decided the shabby chic route was the way to go; incorporate things that don't match -- on purpose.
The only new things that have been purchased for this room is:
Everything else was stashed in our attic spaces. Thank goodness for hoarders.
Here it is (without the ping pong table in view):
