I have a few elements to show you that I am thinking about using in the playroom. These are all just possibilities. Some will work and others might not make the cut, however, I like to pull together what I like and then work them into the puzzle where possible. I am showing you a bed that I had in my file and really planned on getting, it but I missed out. It was on sale and is no longer available. When things like that happen I like to think there is something better out there for me. So back to square one on the bed. Here is what I was planning on using, it is a trundle which is what I really need..........
Would this have been perfect or what? And...it was on half price for $199! Oh well! So goes life!
My Kiddos love laying on the floor so I am thinking these floor cushions would also be a good idea.
I am crazy about letters and I thought a grouping of letters might be another nice option. Probably in all white.
I saved this photo for the lamp shade. Isn't this a darling idea?
I love this window seat designed by Ann Spiro. I have a window in the middle of the wall and space on each side that I planned on putting book shelves. I have to see if Hubby can build this for me. Did I tell you Hubby is a very handy fellow? Handy, but not always willing, if you know what I mean. I also love the rug used here.
I think some silhouettes or even letters peaking out from the bookshelves would look really cute. I loved this idea.
I would also like to have some custom silhouettes made of my kiddos. I am thinking of using either white background with the colored silhouette or the colored background with white silhouettes. This is all up for debate in my brain. As I get more elements together the answer will come to me.
For the walls I ran across this next piece on a blog and I am sorry to say I don't remember which blog but I really liked the idea of putting our last name on this piece.
You can actually customize it and choose all of your own colors. I think this would make a wonderful gift for a new baby, don't you? I will not have this done until the very last. The reason I will wait is because the colors I use in this piece will be very important to the room. I do not want it to get too busy. After it is all put together I will be able to tell which colors will work best.
I really like the wainscotting and the bright splash of green, which is very close to the color I am choosing. I might have to do a little arm twisting to get Hubby to agree to this treatment since it will envolve more work for him.
This is just another layer of the process of the re-do of the playroom. I have already realized I need to make a change with the room. After looking at the picture of the girls bedding I have decided the sheets just are not working. They just appear a little too cutesy and young. Remember I am making this for a Big Girl not a little girl, my how fast they grow-up. Kind of sad but I digressed. Back to the sheets. Upon further thinking I am going to shop for something different. You see we all do trial and error. In the design process it is not always a slam-dunk the first time around. It is a trial and error and sometimes it is live with it for awhile and see if it grows on you or if it has to Go!! Next element to find is a rug. I am off to look at Dash and Albert rugs. I am thinking a stripe will work, what do you think?
I hope you are enjoying this little journey with me as I plan the Re-do of my playroom.
