Building a Barn -- mini size....

My house has turned into a parking garage.  For those of you that have little boys, that sentence might make sense.  There are tractors, cars, trucks, etc parked in various spots all around my house.  It makes me want to literally pull my hair out.  When I realized that Santa was bringing even more items that would need to be parked, I realized something needed to be done.  Today and tomorrow I will highlight my solutions to the parking issue. 
The first solution came via my hubby.  He suggested building a barn to park all of the farm equipment in.  Since my decor is rather rustic to begin with, a barn in the living room made perfect sense to me.  It gives the toys a "home".  An excuse to put away your toys every night.  "Park your tractors in the barn before bed."  So hubby built a barn a few days before Christmas.  A huge 48 inch long barn... 
I broke out my Decoart paints and painted it in green and white -- just like Daddy's barn.  The barn resides behind our couch and so far is working like a charm.  Tractors get parked in the barn and not in my foyer.   
Need another "more discrete" solution for the parking problem?  Stay tuned as tomorrow I will offer you another solution.

Great idea! It's like a "dollhouse" for boys! I bet they love it.

THAT'S REALLY A GREAT IDEA AND CUTE. I BET YOUR LITTLE BOY PARKS HIS CARS AND TRUCKS AT THE END OF THE DAYS. THANKS FOR YOUR IDEAS.
GOD BLESS YOU. HUGS FROM PUERTO RICO
