    We had much more fun with guinea pigs than hamsters because the hamsters slept so much of the day. The guinea pigs would squeal as the kids approached to feed them treats and they loved it. Could handle them - about the size of a kitten which is exactly why we got them in the sense daughter wanted a kitten but what I liked was that guinea pig lived in a cage and we could take it out when we wanted but it stayed put the rest of the day.

    Here is my home daycare. I really love my main floor playroom, it just glows in the morning from the sunshine!

    I got another Ikea storage unit with baskets for the basement that isn't shown in the picture as well as a large closet dedicated pretty much totally to toys, so I have lots of storage both upstairs and down. I can't stand clutter!

    Artandcrafts I love what you did to cover the fireplace. I hope you don't mind, but I might copy that idea. My hubby is a really good painter, I on the other hand have zero artistic ability. My fireplace (which is never used) goes right to the floor. I currently have chairs in front of it. But your idea is much better.

    No problem Second Avenue... that is awesome that your hubby is a painter and could do his work in the fireplace! You just gave me an idea... I may order a nice poster paint of Van Gogh Diego Rivera or Monet that are my favorites and glue it to the fireplace. They have some beautiful paints that look nice for children...

    You know, we are helping each other... I gave you an idea and you gave me one back... I loove this site...Thank you!

    Yes, the only way I felt I could do the daycare was with the basement space. It isn't totally done yet but my husband worked really hard to renovate the basement and open up the space before we had our second daughter a year ago. We still want to change the flooring and some other things, but they will have to wait.

    What is that covering the fireplace? And how did you make it. We have a fireplace (just moved to new housr) the fireplace is not in use and needs to be covered to keep little fingers out currently I have my toy shelf in front of it but that is not working very well. Yours looks so pretty with the flowers
