The Playroom

Here is another space that I had to snap quickly.  The playroom.  Rob and I added shelves in here a few years ago in an attempt to keep it organized.  It looks orderly now...this minute...but don't blink!

We spend a lot of time in here.  As the children are getting older, we are thinking of making it into game room.  We had an old juke box growing up that my dad has in storage. I would love to add it and maybe a pinball machine or pac man and a table for chess or checkers...some good ol' timey games!

I have shown this side of the room with shelving added as you enter the playroom.  The door just past this is to my laundry room.

The bead board ceiling came from a hunting lodge in Blackstock, SC.  When the lodge was torn down, the previous owner of this house grabbed all that he could.  It is in the kitchen, as well.

Lots and lots of books and bins fill this space.  Their idea of 'clean-up' is to shove everything on the shelves.  I feel like I constantly have to reorganize!  Clearly, I need to get with it.

This was one of our Christmas art projects.  I had the bottle caps from summer.

I shared this one earlier in the season.  We used old and new blocks to make this and covered the canvas with linen.

 The tray is a vintage serving tray.  It has little legs that fold underneath. 

If this room becomes a game room, it will have to be an art gallery, too.  I can't part with all the children's art!

Funny how pictures make things so obvious.  A little more organization is needed here!  This cabinet houses the TV.

Isn't this funny?  My friend Jenn gave it to me a couple of years ago.

The creatures came from Books-a-Million. I love this book!

I love to see the children's art.  Mason painted the picture of Toby right after he came to live with us.  I love it.  I would love to make a wall of art for all the great projects.

This little candy cane garland came from TJMaxx.  It looks like the candy canes by Maileg, which I love!  I am sure many of you can make these.  Mine wouldn't look like a candy cane, but might be fun to try.

My son made the doll house in front of the closet for his sisters as a Christmas present.  He loves to build!  He will melt a girl's heart one day, but right now it is mine!

Thanks for visiting!
