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!

Impulsively painted this little powder/laundry roo Impulsively painted this little powder/laundry room green and I’m obsessed. Sacrificed just one sweatshirt and my favorite pair of socks because I was way too lazy to change into painting clothes but overall: worth it. Also don’t look too close, 100 year old plaster walls are the opposite of smooth. On the hunt for some fun art next!! Swipe for before and afters 🖤
