When we moved into Talbot, Angela had a good idea. Give Abby (and baby to be) a place to play and have as their own. Thanks to Jenny for showing us the way it could be done in a closet or under-stairs space like she did for Lucas and Lexi. Talbot has it’s own under the stairs storage area and it looked perfect. Just a little paint and then…well…the idea took on a life of it’s own.
Then we would have to put a rug in it, because it is so cold in there.
Yeah, and we could put her bookshelf in there.
Yeah! And then we could paint the bookshelf…in fact Abby could pick the colors herself.
And a beanbag chair!
And all her toys!
And her own mailbox!
Yeah and her own Address!!
And what about a gate, like she always wants from Dorothy (Wizard of OZ)!!!Yeah!!
Yeah, well it wasn’t as easy as all that but as you can see we have somehow succeeded!
Abby picked Pepto-Pink and Gonzo-Green. Angela found the WayOut-Rug at “Paikea” and I found a gate amongst all my scraps I have kept over the years. The gate only took about 6 hours to complete and the whole thing only cost a few bucks and perhaps several thousand color receptors whilst painting the base coat.

Yes, it is indeed awesome! Abby showed GreatGrandma and me this little “secret” place when we visited a week or so ago. All the details [pain and suffering] that went into ‘birthing’ it weren’t revealed at that time, however. Congratulations and kudo’s to Mom and Dad for their dedication and perserverance in getting it done!! —- GGG
