The Playroom & A Reminder


The playroom has been done for a few weeks, I've just been a slacker and completely forgot to snap some pictures and post about it! You've seen the reading nook, and there are still some walls that need artwork or pictures, but for the most part, it's complete.


Details: 
Wall color: Sherwin Williams Cottage Cream
Bunting: Made by muah with felt triangles from Michael's
Chalkboard: Chalkboard paint on an old BB&B framed piece of art we weren't planning on hanging again
Chalk holder: A Lowe's drawer pull attached upside down (genius right? thanks pinterest!)
Shelving: Expedit unit from Ikea with bins from amazon
Train/Lego table: Craigslist find last year!
Art corner: Decal from etsy and all hanging art is Drew's


We plan on selling Drew's old rocker on Craigslist since we were gifted a much more comfortable chair for Deuce's nursery so it won't be there much longer. I'm obsessed with the bright, cheery wall color and just love the other color accents in this room. SO much better than playing all those hours in our dark basement in our last house!

Also, just a reminder that in one week, the Easter Basket blog hop begins!

**I pushed the date back from the 14th to the 16th in order to give people more time to get their baskets together! 

Hope you'll join in the fun and link up what you got your kiddos/spouse/pets/family/etc for Easter! Simply grab this code to copy the image into your post, enter your info with the linky tool when it goes live and hop around to see other baskets!

Our Journey

  1. You seriously have no idea how much I love this...

    We are currently contracting out to turn half our partially finished basement into a playroom and a theater room. In our first set of blue prints we have a chalkboard area and magnet area. And we even have an area for hanging art (and that decal is in my etsy wish list).

    Girlfriend - - I SO love your style!

  10. What a cute and fun room! We originally set up a playroom in one of the extra bedrooms upstairs, but it just isn't ideal. Xavier has basicaly made our family room/kitchen his play area on the first floor and our bedroom his fun space on the 2nd :( Hoping to change that soon! Those photos give me motivation now!

  15. Love the playroom. We are supposed to be working on ours but, yeah, I'm a slacker. I have to say my favorite part is the reading nook. I would have never left that spot as a kid.

    So glad you moved the date back on the blog hop. I need to get my stuff together!

  24. Love the playroom! So open and light! I love how it's all organized but in a way that looks like it's easy to keep that way post toddler chaos! :) No we just need to add a kitchen and a baby doll space for the future and it'll be all set for brother and sister!!!
