The Toddler Room

I get asked from time to time about what V's room looks like. I've typically ignored this request until now, due to the fact I think it's creepy you want to see the inside of my apartment, but hey, you only live once. YOLO. I went there just now, didn't I?

So for those who don't remember, and those who are new - I moved into my very first apartment with no room mates last March. It's a small apartment, but it suites my needs very well. It's around 680 sq ft, two bedrooms, one bath, and a weird kitchen/living room area (some would call it a studio room,  but I prefer strange weird room). It's all utilities included (minus fancy internet), and it also came with a washer/dryer and a little storage room as well as an attic crawl space. Oh, did I mention I have an amazing wrap around porch and no gas bill for heat? My top two favorite things about this apartment.

Okay, enough about the apartment, and all of it's tininess. I know you want the goods.

Welcome to V's room! Off to the left you can see the entrance way, and behind me is her clothes closet, that place is scary and will never let a part of it's soul be captured by the camera. Straight ahead, is the "closet" that I had originally planned to use for my shoe closet, but I ended up giving V this room instead of mine.

When you walk around the corner in her room, you'll see her table, art easel, toy box, and play kitchen (Which I might add a lot of my internet friends contributed too). You'll also see her projector nightlight my old room mate found, it projects a princess scene onto her ceiling at night, she loves it. She also loves Diego, no Dora, just Diego - I don't mind he's more animal forward. She knows so much about animals from watching that show!

Also, if you can see on the art easel, her new thing is drawing circles. She will not stop, it's so adorable, oh, and don't forget they're almost perfect circles. I should be concerned about phone calls telling me seven days shouldn't I?

I didn't end up snapping any pictures of her closet play area, but it holds all of her bigger toys, like her "get ready" area, rocking horse, baby carriage, baby changing table/high chair, blocks, and tent. Oh, and her dresser as well. The closet is actually extremely large and useful. I love older places (this house was built in 1930 so I have all kinds of beautiful archways, and strange corners - plus it's completely not level!) This place could be so nice - I wish I could paint. I am thinking about asking my landlord if I could paint her room a beautiful shade of Robin's Egg Blue, what do you think?

So there you have it! A beautiful artist' room. I'm sure she'll invite anyone willing over for a tea party later on.
