For those of you who may not follow Farah's Blog, I wanted to fill you in on a little project we have been working on. A few weeks ago we were at a party talking with people about things that would be fun to change about our homes. For the most part we couldn't think of much of anything (Sigh, we love our Manor). But we did mention we would like to expand our hallway closet, for storage and a little play space for future Shaws.
Well we made a few phone calls, spent a few Benjamins, and now-- Wah-La! It is done. Yesterday I installed some carpet in the room. We planned on painting it but decided we would paint a mural of some kind later in the year. The theme is bound to be either Narnia (Hence walking in the wardrobe) or Harry Potter (Hence the cupboard under the stairs). Chances are a Narnia theme will win out, because that theme is good for kids from a very young age till they are about 10. Harry Potter might be a little freaky. Though I do plan on storing my COMPLETE book collection under the stairs (cough, cough Parker. Where is my book!?!).
We expect it to be a wonderful room where our kids can pretend and go a little wild in. However once they grow older I fear the room will become a secret teen hang out. Youngsters will go in to plot schemes with water-balloons and toilet paper... and then... gasp possibly bring girlfriends and boyfriends to gasp kiss and cuddle. Oh dear. What have we gotten ourselves into! We better not have any co-ed birthday parties...
But for now, at least until our children have ridiculous hormones, it is a magical, innocent space. Either that or a Panic Room.

Michael, you must save some of your ideas for the future. Also if your future kids read this blog (if they delve into the archives !!)
it might give them too many ideas. :)
Love Mum
Oh, to have your zeal and imagination!!!! Light in the Attic,
Indian in the Cupboard, Shaws
Under the Stairs, and the sequel-
Fauf in the Kitchen.
The possibility for this little secret space are unlimited!
When I come and visit, can I nap under there?
