The Makings of a Playroom!

When we moved into the our new house, I think the room I was most excited to decorate was Harper’s playroom/my office. It was a funky layout, I planned to make it super colorful & of course couldn’t wait to paint a chalkboard wall! I am so happy with the progress so far & wanted to share a few pictures!
In the background there you see Harper’s soon-to-be growth chart! Saw the idea on pinterest of course & I think there is a similar one at Pottery Barn, so we decided to make our own! I will post before & after pics with a tutorial once it is finished. You can hardly see it, but the bottom is “ombre-d” with gold glitter paint! 🙂
A colorful tissue garland, simple desk & chair from Ikea and colorful accessories were everything I had in mind! I also stole the rug from Harper’s room while we wait for another one to come in the mail. It is from Home Decorators Collection and I wish I could have one in every room!
Some organization on a shelving unit from Ikea, Crate & Barrel baskets that I have all over the house & more accessories on the side wall. This is where I will eventually hang a colorful gallery wall & house all of Harper’s toys.
Pillows & a blanket on the floor for Harper to get her roll on! Also, there are two small pocket doors that go into the alcoves of where the garage is. I have a million ideas of what I want to eventually do with these, hoping to turn them into little playhouses & maybe even a toy “bakery” complete with an awning one day! Good thing my husband is a handyman! 🙂
I also printed one of my favorite etsy prints to hang in the room! If anyone is interested in purchasing this for your fun playroom or nursery – I wanted to offer the digital OWLPHABET print at a discounted price of only $10 in my etsy shop! 🙂 This price will be good for the entire month of August! 
More to come as we make more progress (and probably paint more chalkboard walls!) all around the house!

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍

It’s too easy: make a white cake (from a box), poke holes in it with a toothpick, make jello according to directions in a saucepan and pour over top, and then put in the fridge for 3-5 hours to cool and set! Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!
