Temporary Playroom


We miss the playhouse we built in our old Kentucky home.

Remember how we found some extra space behind our wall and turned it into a kids dream...

BEFORE :
(literally a hole in the wall)

AFTER:

I've thought about banging holes in the walls here in search of another secret space but I'm trying to control those urges.

Instead we have named a room upstairs "the playroom".

I have 4 young kids and want that room to be magical for them but I'm still not exactly sure how I am going to do that so I decided to decorate the playroom "temporarily" in a vintage feel.




I made these fabric covered ikea magnet strips the same way my friend Traci did here.

They are perfect for displaying the kids artwork.
(I did one strip for each child)
These curtains were my first attempt at using grommets. LOVE them.
Seriously, I could not believe how easy it was and I love how they turned out... so clean looking! (I just followed the instructions that came with the grommets- which I bought at Joanns)

Got to have a mirror for admiring themselves in their dress-ups...



Nothing fancy but it works.Do you have a room that is temporary... waiting for inspiration... or maybe the money to make your dreams a reality? That always helps too. ;)
Do YOU have a playroom you love or any ideas for me?
I'd love to hear them!!!
