The Murphy Family

Well, friends, if you are here then you hopefully have some creative juices flowing through you and you can help me do this.  I have a main living space that has a million functions and I love it that way, but I need to figure out how to make it work.  I think you can get an idea of how the room flows with all of these pics.  Help.  Give me any ideas you have.  I love the pics on my walls.  I love bright.  I am not afraid of bright.  I want to use the colors in the pics on the wall.  I like happy and bright but not tacky.  K- go.  That back wall needs to be a different color than the rest.  WE will be repainting the rest white but I want that wall to be different.  We are thinking gray.  That is also where I want my organization station on the wall.  Probably some magnet/chalk board something and I need storage for kids art supplies so I am wondering about a repurposed dresser or shelf of some sort. oh, and ab...

So, yeah, our babies sleep with us for a long time.  Sometimes it makes us crazy, but we love it alot.  Nothing better than having a baby wake up, realize they are right by you, and go right back to sleep.  My babies are 2 and 4 and do a pretty good job of sleeping in their own beds now.  If they wake up and want to come in our bed, we usually let them, but it isn't the norm anymore.  Although it is way nice to have our bed back to ourselves (it's only a queen which makes for some overly snuggly nights with bigger kids), it is also really nice to have them come back.  Both boys have been sick for the last few days and have been sleeping in our bed so we can listen to them breath (icky croup).  I must say, there is nothing better than feeling a 2 year old, chubby, warm hand stroke your face while he looks into your eyes and smiles a ridiculously sweet "I'm all cozy and happy" smile.  That is what happened ...
