Spring Home Tour: Vintage Easter Playroom 2023
Come inside our Vintage Easter Playroom! Many of the little Easter decorations and trinkets were mine when I was younger, so I love incorporating them into this space yearly! We also fill the bookshelves with ALL the fun spring and Easter books - can you spot any of your favorites?
Easy DIY Easter Egg Wreath
As soon as I saw these bright, retro colored plastic eggs at Target, I knew I had to make something with them for the playroom! They match so perfectly and the colors make me so happy! This is such an easy and quick craft to give you an extra little bit of spring decor that you can use year after year! You really can customize with any color eggs to fit your decor- whether it be neutral, bright, pastels, black and white, or even earth-tones.
DIY Vintage Christmas Village Makeover
My favorite DIYs are those that give new life to outdated decorations and vintage pieces. I have had this outdated Christmas village sitting in my garage for years and always have wanted to figure out a way to include it in my Christmas decor as I love the tradition and idea of village sets. This year, while searching for some Christmas decor ideas for the playroom, I had the idea to paint the set in bright colors to match the room. This was so easy and fun and such a great way to update and reuse these old sets. Whether you go with bright and bold colors or just paint it solid white, there’s so many fun ways to update the classic pieces. Check out the before photos and instructions below!
Bright + Fun Vintage Halloween Playroom
Halloween may be over but I wanted to be sure to share one last space with you on my fall home tour, the playroom! If you were following along this summer, I participated in the One Room Challenge to makeover my son’s playroom. This entire room came together in 8 weeks, and it was full of DIY projects and vintage finds. You can read more about the playroom makeover and any sources for the space here. Now that the holidays have arrived, I’m having SO much fun adding in seasonal decor. I’ve been collecting vintage decor for years, but I’ve linked several options below so you can recreate this look!
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: 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!).
