PLAYROOM BEFORE AND AFTER! so far...

before

AFTER


Kids Toy Area


Before
 

 

Almost finished...

 thinking of hanging a rack with some buckets underneath the 2 white frames... not sure what to do with that space just yet. 

Eventually I would like to trade out the baskets with wicker/more natural material or some sort of wooden drawers... Sometime when I can find them on sale!

So here we have what is left of the toys in the toy room.  EVERYTHING else has either been moved into the gargage (ride on toys, basket ball hoop, balls, mini pool table, ect,)

Playroom to Living Room makeover continues!

Just a little sneak peak on what is going on in the Old Playroom.  :)  It's coming together.  Taylor is still annoyed that his TV isn't purchased or mounted on the wall but we are getting there. :)

12 bucks at Ross

Target prints.  (my husband likes to help decorate... I will make them work.) :D

curtains!

This is hard work... taking a nap on the floor with Dylan

The Target lamps that almost cost me my marriage.

That's what I'm talkin' bout!


Burlap lamp shades for 3.74?!  I will take 2!

Here is a reminder of what the room used to be! 

Target Medallion rug we scored for 50 bucks!  It was one of the first things purchased when we decided to redo the room.

Alligator table. 50 dolla make you holla


Okay so I will have to find a better photo but this was a Craigslist find for $50 bucks.  The top was covered in alligator vinyl.  I heart it.

WINDOWS!

patching up holes and touch up paint!

Fixing the window that was FULL of cat claw marks
ironing out the kinks in the new curtains!

Stupid things are too short the blue is overwhelming!  :(  This is when I taped up one side and decided to try my hand at sewing... which I suck at)
And so... The before and after of the windows soon to come!

Some fun little clues as to what is happening in the old playroom soon to be TV/living room/playroom

Couch pillows!  We got the sofa for $280 at Ashley's Furniture Warehouse


Open Item Target rug 5x8 that we got for $50 bucks!

this is the actual craigslist photo of our new side tables. Asking $95 but we got the pair for $60!

LOVE TJ Maxx!  We got 4 blackout curtains for $60

I do believe Target jacked West Elm's style with this curtain rod!  We got it full price (which I hate doing but had to have it) for $30.00

So there you have it!  A little sneak peek at what is happening at the George Casa!

Bu-bye play. :(


all primered and ready for paint
I always get a little sad when I cover up something I hand painted but I will get over it.  I never finished this "PLAY" anyway.  Sorta happy to see it go!  Lincoln decided it would be fun to put his hands in the primer and make white handprints all over the wall.  Note to self... paint during naptime. :)

Bye Bye PLAYROOM!!!!!!!

What do you do when all your kids are healthy and you are bored and have a little spending money!?  DIY Decor of course!  Why not redo a room!  My husband has been against the "playroom" since the second I started decorating it.  He wants a TV and I don't want any.  Well acually.  He wants TWO Tv's.  So I figure what the heck... You want ANOTHER TV room fine but I get to decorate it.  :)

So begins the fun that I was TRYING to do before my kids got sick and that took over my life.  Now that I have finally gotten them well it's time to start getting this place back in order!  I am sure it will be  A TON of DIY projects and Eco friendly (if I get my way) 


OPERATION TURN PLAYROOM INTO A LIVING ROOM starts... NOW!
