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!

GOOD JOB! CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE FINISHING PRODUCT!
ReplyDeleteyay, i've been waiting to see photos of the new home!! I saw a rug VERY similiar same color & feel at Tj maxx for 60$, there were like three of them!! All really big!!! I wanted on in black, but we haven't had any luck just got one from IKEA for now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quote for a playroom! love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of those crate & barrel baskets too, they are the best! This is such a cute space, LOVE it! :) & love your chalkboard wall, I can't wait until I can do one in my home. Excited to see the finished product :)
ReplyDeleteI look at this room and it's gorgeous! but if I had any of those things in the room with my 11 month old twins, it would be in the biggest mess. They can make a mess out of anything tho. If they taste something they don't like, they actually spit it on the floor and play in it, it's just a handful! but good job! It's such a lovely room!
ReplyDeleteSo darling! What a special space for momma and baby :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great so far. I'm loving all the small pops of color. And I wish I knew how to write on a chalkboard like you. I'm uber jealous.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are so persistent with your blogs! If this was around when I was a child, I would LOVE to be reading all about what my mother was going through. I only hope that I'm able to do the same. I once kept a workout blog.. that lasted about a week. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut, thank you so much for sharing! I told my sister in law about your pregnancy chalkboard (thankfully she didn't use it so I can now!) Looking forward to more of your great ideas!
Your little girl is beautiful!!!
Love it all!

ReplyDeleteas someone with the handwriting of a 6th grade boy, I so envy your stunning hand-lettering. What a fun talent to have!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome! Love that Ikea table with the baskets. Do you know what it's called? I have been looking for something similar and I imagine its reasonable there. Can't seem to find it on their website.
ReplyDeleteI would like to follow you on Pinterest but I can't seem to find you! Can you/or someone send me the link!?
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI am also interested in your white table. You said Ikea right? I need a table like that for my mudroom.
