Two of the tables ended up in the kids play corner. <br /><br />This month I finally took up my paint brushes and painted a landscape on the tables, in a way that the tables could be used in different positions. <br /><br />The hardest work was making the green grass, because I had no green paint, so I had to mix yellow and blue. After that the rest was easy... and fun. <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9Ob3PYk-P5aMt7qontpSUMdGDvTJ2llBAOyQ4w5xUBRDwFQoTJVlp1Wh5CuxxetCgORzaqaQ-fR6xMAClp4eg06KEFVcIxpPJTKURL-1AUczs6adK0puYC_J1RngcZPL2fu5BUoZTeS3/s1600/5698-756981.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681263156437590962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9Ob3PYk-P5aMt7qontpSUMdGDvTJ2llBAOyQ4w5xUBRDwFQoTJVlp1Wh5CuxxetCgORzaqaQ-fR6xMAClp4eg06KEFVcIxpPJTKURL-1AUczs6adK0puYC_J1RngcZPL2fu5BUoZTeS3/s640/5698-756981.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWcbLB-iGShSMeeyjZEKrldzzLjW4HpH1llv07-gVopo7PPGOQ4g8cbJpiBHtUYra_77MgpmCTtxhdEux7yH1m9ol4s_L7wsfcfcjYV6ZCTKPuzB-8hD6IxvMAYfSmQLXfe11L2EQNKxMK/s1600/5699-758269.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681263158981989298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWcbLB-iGShSMeeyjZEKrldzzLjW4HpH1llv07-gVopo7PPGOQ4g8cbJpiBHtUYra_77MgpmCTtxhdEux7yH1m9ol4s_L7wsfcfcjYV6ZCTKPuzB-8hD6IxvMAYfSmQLXfe11L2EQNKxMK/s640/5699-758269.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir8VbEnSZG4PawC8LADGoqRpAQ-tS3C-M4xhIQSe22BR9Rb9TnuovxA_8yVuegrP7Rd1IQhbV6WGaVQXxpqnikYDjc19-_hqL1e4VEp-rkiNbCso4EaFCAT7LunlCEdWNvGRO4DOkU3VS-/s1600/5702-760056.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681263168209824514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir8VbEnSZG4PawC8LADGoqRpAQ-tS3C-M4xhIQSe22BR9Rb9TnuovxA_8yVuegrP7Rd1IQhbV6WGaVQXxpqnikYDjc19-_hqL1e4VEp-rkiNbCso4EaFCAT7LunlCEdWNvGRO4DOkU3VS-/s640/5702-760056.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0iQ_V5EEz4WACwe1dV69qfPyvg0Vg1S1yTUnlLouIkHQIYm33Zpa7g682AHHW0raTjD1Vgx-wTQVLVwWC-GPDy8NtVSsvpYZFGqVmqnD-oJcF02cMBvRVH93jvtjhqI2cbQ14thDAT7Pf/s1600/5700-761475.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681263174988469010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0iQ_V5EEz4WACwe1dV69qfPyvg0Vg1S1yTUnlLouIkHQIYm33Zpa7g682AHHW0raTjD1Vgx-wTQVLVwWC-GPDy8NtVSsvpYZFGqVmqnD-oJcF02cMBvRVH93jvtjhqI2cbQ14thDAT7Pf/s640/5700-761475.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />And yes, the kids liked it too! <br /><br />And sometimes, when they are asleep, I rearrange the things on the table, so it's still fun for me too!<br /><br />~ Mischa, Amsterdam

The table has served many purposes and was definitely worth the $19.99 price tag. However as the girls are getting bigger I have found that it is hard for them to sit at the table with all their papers and materials and still have room to work. So to solve this problem I found some utensil holders at Ikea that fit perfectly onto the side of the table and are a great storage space for crayons, markers and other materials. To attach the utensil holders I nailed two nails into the side of the table and then slipped the nails through the slats of the utensil holder. I can easily remove the the utensil holders if we didn't want them there, which is a really nice option. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjHVTTudX4FNJ3Pa35R-ZWHxgNR7_kIOfE3mCQ659L3ECcHyCPMSysBoi7678UVzK0vRsMNO6ItGbQCELWQefNlhfC-m_ZAkOhHFODJr-LnKqZu5a4ro_i-tQibpz-jvph6v9nvDYYvVS/s1600/rsz_img_6694-705367.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672091891639783090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjHVTTudX4FNJ3Pa35R-ZWHxgNR7_kIOfE3mCQ659L3ECcHyCPMSysBoi7678UVzK0vRsMNO6ItGbQCELWQefNlhfC-m_ZAkOhHFODJr-LnKqZu5a4ro_i-tQibpz-jvph6v9nvDYYvVS/s640/rsz_img_6694-705367.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmLjNuiHNJO-CCJnKMZVkHwUvbaPSKQqyagMKrLTnKH5vvA8tJq2FDUjfcGdBZsuMpKKm1RWZEbdMmEhod-qZOTBNdm8qfxt7os7U6rxTr0kMEnfxqXwCmezoYVbjfkWMYmz3ze65_VHnR/s1600/rsz_img_6698-706488.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672091895623752690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmLjNuiHNJO-CCJnKMZVkHwUvbaPSKQqyagMKrLTnKH5vvA8tJq2FDUjfcGdBZsuMpKKm1RWZEbdMmEhod-qZOTBNdm8qfxt7os7U6rxTr0kMEnfxqXwCmezoYVbjfkWMYmz3ze65_VHnR/s640/rsz_img_6698-706488.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzkeKHWXqHTezoMHacyfF9ViZP_GYsPcypYSI_OTrOzgSdPzV1qjDOOQUnpGUFDv37ATOoI7FOks8McEa5PyO0o3Db8LQxYlvqN51TFOUvyQdNPDzvcKT9bjEGUNea4Tfy2JZzI_PdV0-/s1600/rsz_img_6705-707470.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672091897807049538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzkeKHWXqHTezoMHacyfF9ViZP_GYsPcypYSI_OTrOzgSdPzV1qjDOOQUnpGUFDv37ATOoI7FOks8McEa5PyO0o3Db8LQxYlvqN51TFOUvyQdNPDzvcKT9bjEGUNea4Tfy2JZzI_PdV0-/s640/rsz_img_6705-707470.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />I love having the art materials right there for the girls to use without taking up all their work space and in a place that they can reach without even getting up, it makes cleaning up super easy! I also wanted to add a place to display art work and dry wet paintings, so I was very excited when I found the Pressa hanging dryer, also from Ikea. I hung it over the table and love how it looks like a chandelier dangling from the ceiling. It has been great and easy way to store wet artwork. <br /><br />See more of the <a href="http://childhoodlist.blogspot.com/2011/11/14-new-place-to-work.html">children's art table</a>. <br /><br />~ Katie
