Note to Self

Here are ideas for the future when we finally have a house and the kids grow up:

1. 5-6 year old birthday party- A tee party for the girls and their dolls. Each child and doll has their own little chair, little cups, little plates. Serve little sandwiches and little cakes. Girls and dolls where fancy dresses. Decorate big hats for the activity and little hats for dolls.

2. Master bedroom- White wainscoting and white chair rail. Above that, walls will be black. Comforter will be mainly white with a modern black pattern. Sheets will be rich red and so will the curtains. Lounge chair will also be a rich, deep red with black and white accent pillows.

3. Kids room- Lots of bright circles of all different colors and sizes on white walls. Solid bright colored sheets and bedding.

4. Kids playroom( big room)- One corner- floor to ceiling mirrors with ballet bar, hard floor, and ipod with ihome to play dance music; Corner two- large play kitchen and little table with 2 chairs; Corner three- nice art easel with all art supplies in wall mounted organizer; Corner four- Lego corner with wall mounted storage system with some floor storage and a small table; Center of room- round table to do whatever else- homework, reading, large group play, etc.

5. Scrapbook/Craft room- Hard floor maybe of white wood or black and white tile. There will be a huge floor to ceiling window that lets in natural light. The ceiling will be 10 feet tall. The lights will be hanging lights that can be easily moved down a track for more concentrated lighting if necessary. The light shades will be glass in different colors (red, green, yellow, blue). There will be floor to ceiling white cabinets on remaining walls. These cabinets will we special craft cabinets to organize all my different scrapbooking and craft supplies. In the center of the room of the room will be a big rectangular table. It will be white with metal legs. It will have a glass lighted top. The table will also have the ability to go up or down mechanically- all the way to the floor and up to 5 1/2 feet high.

6. Jethro's office- Huge cherry wood solid desk. Nice leather office char and a leather couch. Nice cherry wood cabinets all around the room. He will also have his dream computer that can mechanically raise and lower into his desk. He wants a place for a snake, but we'll see. He will also have a life size manikin in a glass display case for his traditional Russian outfit. He might get lucky and have a flat panel t.v. There also needs to be a good size window.
