I have been working on creating a play area for the kids in the back alley - we have a patio door leading right to it from the living room, so it's perfect. Some decking from Ikea, succulent plants make for a new outdoor space for the kids! The coolest thing - the kitchen made toatlly from the scratch by Jason and I! Looks real, eh - materials: Wood crates, plywood, carbinet pulls, dog bowl for the stainless steel sink, real fosset ($9 Home Depot), linoleum for "granite counters, some plastic drain parts for the "gas range", blue and platinum spray paint.
