POST UPDATE: This is how the playroom looks now!Recently re-did the space to haveone half the playroom..one half my office. :)--------------------------------------------We are in a small house..space is limited.. so we use the garage turned spare room
for a playroom and office!
It's my little corner..
(that my husband uses too. :)
Sometimes you just need to make your
space functional and work with the budget you have.
I was able to shop around our house to make this area come together.
The space is ever changing..but I'm happy to have an area whereif I need to work, they can play around me and be entertained. :)Sophia usually ends up "working"..(coloring) next to me on the other desk. Or bringing me snacks and "coffee" from her "restaurant" next to me.

How the space came together:---PAINT: Martha Stewart-Sharkey Grey (and trying to find the card for the yellow/gold!)
---Spray painted a free old desk..
to match the white ikea one I already had.
---Spray Painted a free old metal cabinet..
and took it apart to make 2 shelving units.
--- Bought Green containers from Target for around $2 bucks each.
--- Pulled out all the decor pieces I had and mixed them in around my work space.
(I DID recently buy the owls at TJMaxx..i'm in a owl phase right now.
but I love the pops of green around my desk so it fit in perfectly!)
---Items:Ikea- Ceiling Light, white boxes, potted plants and FramePottery Barn Frames and Cake StandsTarget- Mail/coupon Holder
I loaded up one of my green bins with all my notecards and notepads..
makes for easy thank you's and list making!
This room is right off the kitchen..so It's where I store my cook books.Not always the best thing to stare up at when you are working though..haha.My husband hid our modem in the books. so it wasn't cluttering up my desk. he's so smart.
Surround your work space with images of those you love!that is my all time favorite photo of sienna on the left. makes me melt. and makes her RAPTOR noises a bit more bearable... please be a phase!


The space next to me is Sophie & Sienna'sLittle Play House area.They have their kitchen stocked with all their play food. (bought the set at a flea market for under $15 and spray painted white)and a they have a baby bed/bath that was mine when I was little.For my full post on the felt food click here.We made all the felt food for Sophie's 2nd birthday present.It went with her party theme - Sweetopia Village


I loved playing restaurant when I was little..and I LOVE how she does too. :) Still working on teaching sienna to PRETEND eat the bow tie pasta......felt fuzz mouth.

For some reason hiding in the fridge sounded like fun. ;)

Story Time.
I'm a really good customer at her restaurant.
I order EVERYTHING. :)
