Holiday Home Tour 2020: Playroom
Welcome to the most fun room of the house- our Christmas playroom! I have had so much fun decorating this space for holidays and can’t wait to continue to in the future. I got a pastel pink tree for the room and even did a little DIY makeover on an old Christmas village set too for the mantle! I love filling up our book wall with all our Christmas children’s books as well as the music corner with our vintage Christmas albums!
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover - FINAL REVEAL!
I can’t believe week 8 is already here and that somehow I got this playroom DONE! I must admit, I took on a few too many DIY projects with this one but I also had so much FUN each step of the way. I learned a lot and we now have an amazing playroom for JW that I know he will enjoy for many, many years to come. Not to mention, my husband and I love this space so much that we have even been hanging out in here after he’s already asleep at night! If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ve likely already seen some after photos of the space but this post will be a complete round up of every project, every item linked to shop, and overall my design process for the entire space!
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover Week 7 Update: Music Corner
Week 7 is wrapping up and although you may not be able to tell from these photos, the rest of the room is a disaster zone! I’ve got about a million projects going on and one more week to finish them all up! I can’t believe how quickly the past 7 weeks have flown by! This week I completed this little music corner centered around the piano.
One Room Challenge Playroom Makeover: Week 6 Update
This week was all about the walls! I made more progress on the DIY stenciled wallpaper wall and also added some fun new additions to the book wall (read more about that here)! Check out the videos below for a peek at the process for both of these. I also explained more in depth the DIY wallpaper process in week four’s post here. I started peeling the painter’s tape off of a couple sections and it was so exciting to see the completed look. I just have one more section to go before we are done!
One Room Challenge Week 5 Update: Book Wall
This week we finished up what will probably be my favorite part of the playroom: the book wall! I knew I wanted a large part of the playroom dedicated to books/reading and a spot to display our massive vintage children’s book collection. I decided to have some book ledges/shelves custom made to the exact dimensions I wanted as opposed to buying pre-made shelves and piecing them together. MK Farmhouse Furniture was able to custom build these for me so reasonably (seriously cheaper than I would have paid for store-bought shelves AND he installed them too).
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover Week 3 Update: Lights + DIY Chalkboard
We made some good progress this week in the playroom: we have LIGHT, we completed the DIY house chalkboard, and we finalized the plans for built-ins and shelves. I’m loving the light and although I was concerned about it hanging down too low, it ended up being perfect for the space and isn’t in the way at all. But as with all old houses, when you fix one problem, you create more. Now we do have a few holes in the drywall from where our electrican had to cut in to run the electric (since this room had not ever had an overhead light. Hopefully we can fix those this weekend (we are going to try to patch it ourselves so I’ll let you know how that goes!).
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover - Week 2
Well the room doesn’t look a whole lot different YET but I feel like I still made a lot of progress this week! I have pretty much nailed down all the big design decisions and the layout of the room. Check out my IGTV video here for a behind the scenes look at the entire space and my plans for each wall/area. Below I’m sharing a design board I have put together with my selections so far and more details on each section!

One Room Challenge: Intro to My Project!
I am so very excited to participate in my very first One Room Challenge starting THIS week! I have always loved following along with this challenge and have found many of my favorite bloggers and designers through it. I really am kind of kicking myself that I hadn’t participated sooner, but the timing finally worked out perfectly so here we are!
This week there’s not a lot of progress to be shared but I wanted to reveal which room I am going to be working on AND some of my ideas and inspiration for the space. I can’t wait to hear your feedback and hope you are exctied to follow along with the transformation of this space! So the space I will be making over is (drumrollll)……..
