Homemaker Monday

This is the first time I have been involved with Homemaker Monday from 11th Heaven's Homemaker Haven and today I have decided to ask for some advice, idea's and inspiration on a decorating a room in my home.



This is the upstairs sitting/TV kids loungeroom and I have no idea where to start. I want it crisp, simple but cute!......it needs to be robust, and it needs to have places for books, DVD's and kids toys. We would also like this space to be adult friendly as we will often sit with our kids and enjoy family DVD nights. This room leads onto all the kids rooms.
So ideas for colour, funiture and ways to hide messy DVD's and toys would be great. I love visual ideas, so if you have any links for ideas that would be great too.

SO thats my first go at Homemaker Monday,

Something I have learn't this week

Glass Stove Canopy's can EXPLODE. After burning some popcorn in my microwave.....okay so I was blog hopping at the time I admit it, anyway after turning on my fan in our Glass Canopy to clear the smoke and leaving the kitchen with the popcorn I could salvage, I was startled by a HUGE explosion......our glass Canopy EXPLODED, YES Exploded.........filling my Kitchen and Dinning room with millions of tiny shattered pieces of Glass.
I will not share the brand with you all just yet as we are waiting to see how well the Manufacture reacts to our situation. WE do understand that faults happen, but this fault could of caused one of my children or myself a serious injury, Praise the LORD no one was in the Kitchen at the time.
Just another Day in my crazy life! Hugs & Blessings Nicki
