I took some pictures of the playroom last week. We were having family stay with us and so I actually cleaned it. Normally it looks like a train came through. But it is a PLAYroom and made for messes. Plus, I can't keep every room in this giant house clean. Who am I kidding, I don't try to keep any room clean! :o)
Here are the befores, when we bought the house:

I knew I wanted to keep the bold colors from our last playroom. I have enough pink and purple in other parts of the house. So I used a neutral wall color (Pismo Dunes from Benjamin Moore) and let the toys add the color.
I wanted to create an art wall for all the work they give me. The left is chalkboard, right is corkboard. The middle has picture hanging wire strung from side to side but I needed more clips to hang things.
This table is special because it was mine growing up. So glad my parents kept it! I have many memories doing my own artwork upstairs in my bedroom while sitting in this thing.
These are built in to the back wall. I thought about painting the wall behind them a bright color but instead just painted it white. It is busy enough with all the stuff!
My mom made the pom-pom valance with this "farm life" fabric I found online.
We made this kitchen set for Lilli a few years ago. If you want to see more about it, click

Artwork came from Hobby Lobby, futon circa late 1990s.
I didn't even realize the artwork had chevron like the curtains I bought months ago from West Elm. It's like chevron central up in here. Not intentional but it works!
Even their doll house has a golden retriever!
The playroom has a cute closet that I turned into a dress-up area.
I have plans to hang curtains in the doorway so they can come out and model their clothes. Someday...
Sometimes the playroom has a putt-putt course and a tent in it, seen here. But our kittens thought the tent was a litter box (true story) so it is now an outside toy.
The room is not complete but since it is so rarely cleaned up I had to share!
