Playroom Makeover

See this fun playroom makeover with The RoomPlace.

Since our home doesn’t have a basement, our playroom sees a lot of use.

When we first moved into our home three years ago, the room was previously used as a workout room.

The space wasn’t very exciting, and we transformed it into a fun (and colorful) space for the kids.

However, when we first moved into our home over three years ago, the kids were 8, 6, and 2 years old. Since then, needs have changed. The kids have outgrown the mini furniture and previous design.

I am excited to partner again with The RoomPlace on our spring playroom makeover (you can see the family room makeover from earlier this month HERE).

For the makeover, we moved the miniature furniture out (and extra toys the kids no longer use) and added a few gorgeous pieces from The RoomPlace to the space.

The tiny furniture was replaced with a functional daybed and a TV stand.

The RoomPlace delivered the pieces to our home and set up everything. I was able to sit back and watch!

The RoomPlace’s Donovan Gray 3 Piece Daybed with Trundle is the perfect addition to the space. It is a sofa that actually fits my growing kids and includes pull-out trundle. This piece works in both small and large living spaces.

The Therapedic Ortho-Pedic twin firm mattresses are on both the sofa and trundle. The orthopedic is designed for great value and blissful relaxation, and it is an incredibly comfortable mattress!

There is now a large TV in the space. As my boys grow older, they play with fewer toys and enjoy watching more movies and playing video games.

The Sierra 54″ Console Tobacco TV Stand is gorgeous and holds all our WiiU accessories. It is the perfect combination of modern rustic and is constructed using New Zealand Pine solids and veneers in a tobacco finish. The hand-sawn weathered distressing making each piece slightly different and unique. The RoomPlace’s Sierra TV stand creates the perfect focal point for playing video games and hosting movie nights.

The RoomPlace’s Donovan daybed provides a comfy place for watching movies and is the best sleepover spot for their friends (and perfect for out-of-town guests).

The trundle pulls out easily and quickly stores away,

My daughter (being younger than the boys) still loves her toys. We still have space for her to play while accommodating my older boys.

My kids now have a fun entertaining spot for their friends (and it is a space they can continue to grow into)!

If you’re local, The RoomPlace is the place to go in Indiana and Illinois for stylish furniture and home accessories.

Thanks so much to The RoomPlace for partnering with me on this spring makeover!

Toy Room Makeover

I’m excited to share our toy room makeover with you today.

All summer long, I obsessed over the color kelly green. I love its beautiful boldness, and I wanted it in my home. However, it just did not work with my neutral decor palette.

I spent months trying to figure out where I could add it, and one day the perfect space dawned on me – the kids’ playroom!

The playroom was painted a pale green but is separate from the rest of my house. It was time to kick that green into high gear without worrying about it not fitting with the rest of my home’s neutral colors.

Before I began painting, I began by prepping the room with FrogTape®.

Besides offering several different widths, FrogTape® offers a tape specifically for delicate surfaces as well as their classic, multi-surface tape.

The yellow delicate surface FrogTape® was used on the wallpapered wall.

And it was also used on the chalkboard wall.

The result was crisp paint lines and no damage to my wallpaper or chalkboard. I used the green multi-surface FrogTape® on all the other areas – mainly the trim.

FrogTape® brand painter’s tape is the only painting tape treated with patented PaintBlock® Technology. PaintBlock® reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a barrier against paint bleed giving you the sharpest paint lines possible – which is especially important with my bold color choice!

This space is constantly evolving as the kids get older. I want this room to be fun and inviting.

The green adds an entirely new life to everything. The colors seem more vibrant and the toys more fun.

I also love the green next to the black and white frame wallpaper.

I would love to know – what color are you currently obsessing over? Are you brave enough to cover an accent wall with that color?

Isn’t decorating a playroom fun? It is a chance to bring out your inner child and create a magical place.

Our playroom is constantly evolving. As the kids grow, I continue to update the space to make it interesting and fun. One of the ways I do this is through wall treatments and artwork. On one side of our playroom is a wallpapered wall which is a great way to showcase photos and the kid’s art. On the other side of the room (and where the roofline dips) is a chalkboard wall. In the beginning, the kids loved the chalkboard wall and covered it with cute drawings. Over time they have lost interest, and the large black wall is usually left blank. However, I wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye to the chalkboard wall.

If you walk through my home, my love for chalkboards is pretty obvious. I thought it would be fun to create a whimsical wall with artwork and photos.

Photos.com allows you to select your photo or art and decide how you want it printed – canvas, paper, aluminum, argyle, and birch wood.

Besides all their display options, photos.com has a crazy amount of images from Getty Images, the world’s leading image company. As I was searching through the huge library of images, I found myself drawn to the old ballet photos. Dancers (ballerinas) at George Balanchin by Alfred Eisenstaedt.

How fun is this Ballet Class photo by Malcolm Dunbar?

And then I fell in love with all the colors like in this photo. And who doesn’t love the beach?! And I have tons of beach photos of my kids.

But then, it struck me. The only other place that could possibly be more fun than the beach (in the kids’ minds) is the carnival, so I started searching for Ferris wheels. A Ferris wheel in a playroom is just fun. I love the beautiful colors in this Quarter ferris wheel photo by bbq.

But ultimately fell in love with the Pastel Ferris Wheel.
