Sometimes, when people blog about their houses, they worry that someday their houses will be all finished, and they won’t have anything else to blog about.  I don’t have this worry at all. For one thing, we’re really slow. For another thing, we have a relatively big house with none of this “open concept” business; lots and lots of boxy rooms to deal with. And then we tend to do things like invent new rooms in our house instead of finishing the ones we’re already working on. By my calculations, our basement is big enough to invent at least three or four more totally new rooms for. And then there’s this whole thing where I’m already planning to redo Abe’s room for the third time in three years.

But, you see, kid rooms are my FAVORITE. And he’s my last kid (I mean, I imagine I’m not finished doing rooms for Milo and Gus yet, but when we do redo it, it will no doubt be to make it LESS kid-like. Cue quiet sobbing. Gus is NINE. I’m halfway through the part where he lives with us already! I mean, probably. He IS into theater. He might need to live at home forever while he waits for his big break).

So, anyway, we’re probably still a year away from actually redoing Abe’s room, but, what with kid rooms being my favorite and all, I thought it might be fun to come up with a few ideas throughout the year so that I’ll be completely overwhelmed with choices by the time we actually DO anything in there.

Honestly, I thought these were going to be easy, fun posts to write, but so far it’s harder than I expected. So, you know, just don’t think I’m getting off easy with these!

First up we have this Adventure Room:
