Playroom Update

With a little girl coming into our lives really soon, we wanted to update our boy dominated playroom.  Our playroom has tools, cars, and blocks.  And while I would hope my daughter would enjoy these things, I wanted to diversify our toy selection to include some more options.

We hit up craigslist and found an awesome bookshelf for cheap.  We pulled the shelves out and D sanded it down.  
We painted it a bright and happy yellow ("Fresh Pineapple" by Glidden to be exact),
 lined the inside with contact paper, 
and put up a tension rod, mirror, and hooks. 
 Now, we have an awesome dress up closet for super hero capes and princess dresses alike!  

 Here's what our playroom looks like now!
 




I want to add a couple of gutter shelves for books around the chair.  I also need to put up clips on the wire line above the table to hang up art work.  Lastly, want to put up a "playroom rules" canvas above the tool bench (I found one at Hobby Lobby and I am in love! - now just to watch for it to go on sale).

I am so excited and grateful to have this space for our kids to enjoy together!  I'm excited to watch them learn, grow, play and create together.

  1. Love it! Way easier than what I was looking to do for dress-up clothes. I think I will be looking into this!

  2. Love the simplicity of your dress-up closet! I bought an old bookshelf and did something similar. I linked back to you on my blog! Thanks for sharing your awesome idea :) http://thenotsoboredhousewife.com/?p=567
