I love light!! Natural light and ambient light!! Even in the playroom I wanted some ambient light. It had to be fun and colorful, after all it is a playroom.
So I took this…………
Ikea’s ledberg-light strip, sold in a package of three for $14.99
I added it to the top of two of these………………..
Ikea’s Billy bookcase $59.99 each
So far not too exciting until I found these……….
Superfin vase for $2.99 each. I purchased six of these fun and colorful vases in the cobalt, turquoise and lime green. I then placed them on top of the bookcase in front of the strip light and created this………
The above picture was taken during the day.
I love them the most at nighttime!!
Come by tomorrow and I will be showing the rest of the playroom!!!
“Enjoy the Process” Of:
Adding a fun element to create some ambiance!!

What a great idea. The light strips and bottles look wonderful and add such a colorful touch. I noticed the blue and white striped pillow on the floor...looking forward to seeing more of what you have created in the playroom. So far it's fabulous.
Hope you had a great weekend.
I love this idea, Kathysue! It adds such a festive touch to your already perfct playroom! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
What a great idea. And by the way when I was working on my post about our playroom yesterday I kept thinking of the great fabrics you are using in yours.....lots of inspiration there!
I can't wait to see the finished space. I was already excited when I saw the blue and white cushion peeking out at the bottom of the image.
fabulous idea to add a little extra lighting...fun and functional...

What a great idea. I am getting these strips today!
I love the look here, Kathysue. And the bottles, what a find for that price.
Can't wait to see the rest.
Have a great day.

Just goes to show that creativity is more important than having a large budget. The bookcases look great....like they're ready for some little ones!
I can't wait to see the finished product! I love the lighting idea!

This was sent to me by a reader who is having trouble posting comments to my blog,Sorry Cheryl!!
Posted or tried to post this a few seconds ago:
oh, this is lovely. Your grandchildren are so lucky! I tried to post yesterday and I may have the same problem today. We'll see . . . .
The main reason I’m a regular reader is that you do post your process and I learn so much from you. It’s not about posting eye-candy and leaving it at that or just saying enough so we’ll hire you as a designer. You are a teacher and you just can’t help it! Love that.
You are a genius! Love using the lights on top of a bookcase and drawing attention up to something colorful rather than to the mess on the shelves - will have to do the same (though your shelves are very neat!)
xxoo
So clever you are!! What a simple ingenious touch!!
Love the lights combined with the colorful bottles!
