    Just Wanted To Share My New Daycare Furniture

    My DH built me these awesome furniture additions for my daycare and I finished setting them all up and I'm so excited!

    He built me a table to replace the old wicker patio coffee table that the kids were using as a table for the dramatic play area and he made it so that they can use it for different things. They can now use it as a kitchen table or a business counter (market, post office etc). He also built me a little side table that I crammed in the corner (you can barely see it). The kids sometimes went in the corner so this will help out a lot.

    He also built me a writing desk with shelving so now I have a writing center! I drew up a quick sketch of it and told him what I wanted to store in it and he took care of the rest. All three pieces measure 18" from the floor (the writing part of the desk is 18" and the rest is of course taller) so it's perfect for the 2yo's and my DD who is 8yo can even use it, I LOVE the versatility.

    I just wanted to gloat, my friends just don't get it ... I knew you ladies would ::.

      happyface Awesome, what a talented hubby you have!!! (And an adorable DD, as well) Enjoy the new furniture (and I can see why you wanted to fill that corner- just the right size for some kiddos I bet )

                Those are great!

                I think you mentioned one time that this was a back patio. I have a back patio that needs to be repaired and re-screened. Some people here make it into a room but we don't want to because it would make the house dark. If I put things out there though, after not too long, they get dusty/dirty from whatever blows around. I can't tell if by your play kitchen that is a screen or a sliding glass door. How do you keep outdoor things clean?

                Thanks, Laurel

                      Showing this to my hubby .

                      He used to work commercial construction when we met and can custom build anything. Three years ago we got a free FEMA camper from a friend. We stripped it down to the axels literally and re built it all, from the ground up. From the outside it looks like any other camper. From the inside its custom just for us. We love it!!

                      I DEFINATELY need some new daycare furniture and I have a hard time sketching out what I want to show him but these pictures are perfect!!

                      He leaves for out of state Ina few days but when he comes back he's going to be very busy
