This is the view of the playroom from the stairs. It's actually the upstairs loft. It's the perfect area because it's right next to the girls bedroom and bathroom. I apologize that the picture came out so dark. I had to use my phone for the pictures since my camera is completely dead.
We decided that a love seat would be the perfect size for the playroom. I got the idea of the hanging pictures from Pinterest and also made the pictures using canvases, modge podge, ribbon and wrapping paper =) I already had the curtain rod and most of the other material so it was very inexpensive!
Even before I had kids, I knew that I wanted to have a library for them (it's the teacher in me!). This genius idea I also got from Pinterest. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to do it. My main priority was to have a library with the books facing forward!!! I got the letters at Michael's and decorated them myself with ribbon and flowers. I also wanted to display my girls' arts and crafts so I used the butterflies and ribbon to do so...this idea saved me $15 from Target lol. I love the picture of the girls with their book. Can you tell that I'm already installing the love for literacy??? =)
I used the foam letters to spell out TWINS ♥
I LOVE Dr. Seuss!!!! This quote is definitely appropriate for the library! I didn't want to spend money on Etsy for this quote, so I did it myslef on Word and added the ribbon. I already had the frame so all I had to do was spray pain it.
The "shelves" are actually spice racks from Ikea. They were only $4 each and all I had to do was spray paint them white. I change the books out every couple of weeks and also use books depending on the holiday =)
The outside view from the window...so peaceful!
I eventually want to change the TV stand for a white one to match the rest of the furniture but this works for now.
I love this quote........and it's so true hehe ;)
This is one of my favorite things in the playroom. I absolutely adore this quote. I had it made on Etsy!
I love the storage space. For weeks we looked at different places to buy the storage cubbies and could not bring myself to spend $50 on it with only 9 holes. When my community had their annual garage sell, I went on a quest to find some........and I did!!!! Not only did I save money on these, but I love the unique shape. Wayyyy cuter than just the simple, boring square ones =) total price of $25! However, I did spend a lot of money on the storage bins =( paid $7 for each to later find out that the dollar store has them for a dollar!!! Oh well, these will last for a while and are of great quality.
The mirror came with the dresser in the twins bedroom. I'm glad I can finally use it. It gives the room a very princess-like look. They built the loft with a closet just in case the owners would want to turn it into a 5th bedroom. I love the storage space!!!
Well that's it for now. I'm not going to add anything new for a while except for another Dr. Seuss quote. The girls are enjoying this room already and love to play and "read" their books.
