A few months ago, Robert and I found some old weathered fence boards nearly for free on Craigslist that we’re hoping will be perfect for adding some interest around a TV and these Billy Bookcases from IKEA. Built-Ins: When we first moved in, I knew I wanted to install built-ins on this wall, and that was pretty much the extent of my good ideas.īut then when Rachel from Shades of Blue Interiors shared her wood wall, she gave me that lightbulb moment I’d been waiting for.

For more information, see my full disclosure here.) With that tall order in mind, this is the design plan so far: (Affiliate links are provided below for convenience. The idea is to make it a casual space with plenty of storage for Olivia’s toys, room to spread out with future homework and craft projects, and a place where we can crash on the couch for a game night (or a billionth showing of Frozen). So far, this is what I’m envisioning.Įven though this room has mostly been Olivia’s playroom from the beginning, I’ve really wanted to make it into a combo playroom / media room / craft room that can be versatile for all three of us. I’ve finally been able to sort of wrap my brain around this one since it’s been so overwhelming figuring out where to start on such a blank canvas. UPDATE: See the full playroom makeover reveal here!

It’s been great to let her make a mess in here and to hardly care what it looks like, but I’ve always wanted to make this space more functional. I sat in our playroom for days just staring at it (I mean… along with Olivia dressing me up like a pretty pretty princess and brewing imaginary pots of tea). The more we check entire room makeovers off of our house to-do list, the more I realize how close we are to finishing all of them! After wrapping the kitchen makeover the other week, I figured it would all be an easy downhill ride with the last couple of blank rooms in our house.īut then, I got major creativity block.
