I wanted to do a separate post sharing some of the specifics from the playroom. My other blog post shares about The Container Store and how their Organization Studio helped us design the room. We took on quite a few DIY projects, and honestly some of them didn’t work out, but a lot did!
I was having such a hard time deciding on curtains! For whatever reason curtains are always the last thing I choose in a room. I found this idea on Pinterest and knew it would be perfect for the space. I bought a tie dye kit and painted the dye onto the bottom of the curtains. I let it set overnight and then rinsed them out! Tadaaa ombré curtains.
We wanted a giant chalkboard, but our walls are really textured so I didn’t want to paint it directly onto the wall. I purchased some chalkboard paint, gray spray paint, hanging hooks, 1x2s, and a big piece of thin plywood that was already the perfect size. I painted the plywood with a sponge brush and spray painted the 1x2s gray. We screwed the 1x2s onto the board through the back so they wouldn’t be visible. Then we attached the hooks to the back of the chalkboard to hang it onto the wall! I absolutely love it, and it makes me want to homeschool.
I ordered two sets off Amazon, and I’m obsessed. I want them in every kid’s room. They add such a playful touch to the room and look so cute at night.
Daniel wanted these from the very beginning and I fought him on it because I wanted to make some DIY Signs. Well long story short, I wasted some time, money, energy, and a lot of tears on a project. So Daniel came in the room, said we’re going to hobby lobby and that solved that!
I really wanted cute labels to go on the bins so that we could keep things organized! These are from @theorderlyspace and they would be a dream to work with someday!
I found this adorable company on Instagram called @sweet.swinging and knew that it would be the perfect addition to the playroom. It’ll be so great for the baby in the family to hangout while the big kids play!
Costume Rack
A dress up station is a must! It only has Disney costumes and that’s alright by me. Lots of princess dresses and Star Wars costumes in this home.
I wanted a really bright and white room, but needed to add that whimsical touch. I went with polka dot wall decals so that I could easily change it down the road!
The whimsical color scheme of this playmat has me hooked! I want everything in these colors and it ties everything together perfectly. I love this Skiphop mat bc it wipes clean so I don’t have to worry about stains on the carpet underneath!
Decorations
We mostly used toys as decorations because they’re already so colorful! Most of the signs and prints are from Hobby Lobby. We ordered the wall decal off Amazon to add a Disney touch to go with the Star Wars posters. Lots of the toys are from Five-below and Walmart. We really stocked up on play-dough and finger paint.
We designed this to be a space where Sawyer can grow into an artist, reader, dancer, or honestly whatever she wants to be! So much fun to be had in these four walls.
