The Tour

The Fort is (pretty much) complete.

Are you ready for the Grand Tour?  

You enter through the kitchen area. 

There is plenty of room for all the aprons and ample cooking space.

We have already whipped up quite a few meals here.

The "Chocolate Soup" has been my favorite so far.

To the left is the custom bookshelf Cord made with his new "Biscuit Cutter."  

(Guy Talk, I know.)

I hear built-in's make for great re-sale value.

It is a perfect space for storing the grocery's.  

Very accessible to the kitchen area and all that. 

 

Continuing on-- to the right is the dining room.

This is where we ate that delicious Chocolate Soup I told you about.

Coloring and puzzles are also done here on a regular basis.

And then my personal favorite spot is tucked under the stairs.

I picked up the dog bed, I mean, kids chair, at Tuesday Morning.  Great store.

This is where the small people can cozy up with their blankets and pillow pets to look at books,

relax and lounge around.

Cord covered it all with carpet so it would be soft all over and totally anti-spider-ish.

Isn't he clever?
He made his own "knee kicker" and everything to install the carpet on the floor.
Whew.  What a guy!

Did you also happen to notice that crazy metallic ceiling we have going on?
We thought it looked hip.  It also keeps the place warm.  And reflects the light.
Nobody wants to play in the dark.  So, we made the place sparkle.  :)

Time to get our play on.
