Young House Love » Our Second House » Aren’t Mother-In-Laws The Best?

| By John Petersik | May 31, 2011 | 160 Comments

Aren’t Mother-In-Laws The Best?

When Sherry’s mom was here a couple of weekends ago for Clara’s birthday party she clocked more than her fair share of hours helping us clean the house in preparation. Perhaps her most miraculous accomplish was in the future playroom / second kids bedroom (aka: current junkroom) which looked like this when she arrived (no kidding):

Playroom Messy Before

Since our junk basically screamed “I Will Topple Over On Your Baby!” we were just planning to close and lock the door during the party to keep all of the littler guests away from certain death. That plan went to pot when we realized that we couldn’t physically close the door anymore (mainly due to the poorly timed delivery of a large box full of replacement parts for our recalled outdoor grill, which came the day before the party).

So before one might consider us candidates for an episode of Hoarders, my mother-in-law took it upon herself to get things organized. Ahhhhh……

Playroom Clear After

Now the door closes, which was definitely necessary for the party (let me paint you a picture: kids everywhere). Surprisingly, Diana didn’t actually throw that much away – except maybe a few boxes that we had been hanging on to (like the one for Sherry’s sewing machine in case she and Oh Brother didn’t survive their first few rocky weeks together). So this really is just a result of sorting and putting things in some semblance of order (pillows with pillows, baskets nested inside of each other or stacked, etc).

Playroom Table Chair

Now it’s almost like this entire room is our mega “decor store” from which to pull frames, accessories and pillows when we need ’em elsewhere in the house. At least that’s what we tell ourselves when we feel super slothy for having a room full of not-sure-where-it’ll-land-yet stuff after five months of living here.

Playroom Pillow Bed

Oh, and notice that vintage kids chair? That was a birthday gift from Sherry’s mom. It’s the actual chair that she and her six siblings used when they were growing up to eat meals. Cool, right? I mean, in that totally-not-up-to-current-safety-standards way. But nonetheless, it’s fun to have in our possession (imagining my mother-in-law as a baby eating mushed up bananas is always a trip). We’ve got big plans for it as Clara’s big girl chair after she’s past her highchair days. In fact Sherry’s already googling around to make sure we can safely fix it up (making sure there aren’t any lead/formaldehyde issues since those were used in old furnishings). That’s my slightly neurotic girl.

Playroom High Chair

As happy as it made us to have the room walkable again, it’s obviously still miles away from being a usable playroom. Luckily there’s no rush to get started (since the living room, office, sunroom, nursery, and kitchen are all playrooms for the bean these days). But Clara and I did take a few moments to enjoy the fact that we could actually see the floor again. The fact that all 6 feet of me can now lay down in there is nothing short of a miracle.

Playroom Playing With C

Thanks Nonna! We promise to (do our best not to) mess it up again.

    such a big change (and I’m sure it makes you both feel better to know that chaos doesn’t lurk behind a closed (or open) door.

    also? to further the progress, i totally recommend the Space Bags for the pillows and whatnot…they really work well, and make things “storeable” if you haven’t already given them a go :)

    We have one of those highchairs – my MIL found it either at a garage sale or somewhere but my kids fight over who will sit in it (they are 5 & 2). We didn’t put any safety straps on it since it slides under the table fine & my 2 yr old is pretty good about staying seated until she is done.

      I had those shelves in college too. In fact, years later they still reside in our house (currently as bedside tables in our guest room). We plan to give them the young house treatment and give them new life in our daughter’s big kid room. Now to choose a paint color – that green may fit the bill!

    Ohmygosh, no way, everyone must have a vintage high chair, because when I had my daughter, my grandmother found the one that my dad used, and brought it out for us. My daughter still thinks it’s hilarious that “Pops” used to sit in it. Although, the one she uses now is my old high chair, which fortunately, is a great swedish-design piece. Sturdy and modern-but not too modern. The vintage chair is really just a prop in our dining room. :)

    Not that I’d ever let her catch me saying it (again) but did you really just use the terms “mother in law” and “best” in the same title without a adverb of negation? Lucky you!!!

    Also, we have a vintage high chair that we use at said mother in law’s house…it’s held up quite well now that our daughter is a bit older. When she was in wiggle mode, my mother in law has been known to tie her into the chair with a long scarf…I kid you not! Children are surprisingly resilient.

    This is not a snarky question at all, but what concerns do you have about the high chair? As another commenter pointed out, other generations have “survived” them :) Promise I’m not being judgmental, I’m just genuinely curious about what parents should be on the look out for when inherited furniture like that. Thanks!

      I think just lead or other chemicals in the treated wood (some of the old chemicals to “cure” wood have formaldehyde in it, which is now a recognized cancer-causer). Just wanna do the best by Clara that we can!

      So if you wanted to be super-careful, could you do whatever minor sanding/restaining it calls for and then put a coat or two of super-safe varnish (I forget what you call the product you like?) over it?

    • Avatar for YoungHouseLoveYoungHouseLove says

      May 31, 2011 at 3:25 pm

      Yup, I think we’ll be fine as long as we don’t sand it (bad new for releasing lead and chemicals) and just prime and paint it and then seal it with Safecoat (which is meant to lock in things like lead or formaldehyde).

    I love organizing! I just organized my bathroom sink cabinet and it is glorious! I feel so much better now whenever I go to grab a q-tip or whatever. My biggest thing is boxes. Everything looks better in a box, it’s like instant organization. Or a tray, just line it up and BAM organized. It amazed me what a few simple changes could do to clean everything up. Here’s my box love : http://thefirstapartment.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-organize-under-sink.html

    Stacking also works wonders, but I suppose that can be a whole other rant.

We’ve been in our first house for a month short of four years, and we still have things that haven’t quite landed yet. Fortunately, we’ve managed to at least relegate them to the attic or a closet in an extra room, though.

    One, that is awesome. Two, I just have to tell you that I absolutely adore this blog, to the extent that after I found it two months ago, I have actually gone back to the very beginning and read every single post. Yep. I finished last night (hooray summer!), but waited for today’s posts to tell you. And now I feel super creepy for knowing a TON of stuff about you, but oh man, you are SUCH an inspiration to me. I actually just finished re-doing my parents’ old patio furniture because of you (and now it looks awesome). So I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all the crazy amounts of work you guys have done, on both your house and blog, and how much fun it was to go read through everything from the beginning. Thanks so much for sharing everything!!! I know it will be so handy once the boy and I move to DC in the next month or so, because we will have such good references on how to do everything (modified rental-style, of course). So THANK YOU so much!!

      Thank YOU Maria! It’s amazing to hear that you read back years into our archives and lived to tell the tale. What a crazy ride it has been!

      I actually found this blog about 6 months ago and did the same thing! I was so bummed when I finally caught up, now I have to wait for a new post each day instead of having hours of reading at my fingertips! : ) Amazing blog, amazing family!

    The “before” picture makes me feel slightly better about the current state of my home office.

    The “after” picture… Well let’s just say it’s inspired me to organize the crap out of my office as soon as I get home from my day job! ;-)

    Also, that last picture is freaking adorable. :-)
