So we've made some serious headway in the playroom - hallelujah! The floors look great, the room is painted, and it looks like a whole different space. As a reminder, here is what it looked like when we moved in:
And here is what it looks like today:
I'm so happy with how much brighter and airier it's looking. Of course, the space isn't finished. The Hubster still has to add baseboard trim and I have a lot of work to do in the prettying-things-up department. Right now the room is full of hand-me-down toys, but we recently purchased a play table for the space and I'd also like to buy Violet a wooden dollhouse.
As a refresher, here is the general color scheme I am going for in the space (which will eventually become Violet's big girl room):
Most sources can be found here. I ordered samples of these three fabrics from Fabric.com:
...but if anyone has a good inexpensive source for a corally-pink fabric, I'd really love to here them. Thanks so much!
Wow- you rescued that space! It is lovely, light and bright. Those floors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm really into coral right now, but don't have any sources for you. :(
That is such a cute little room!
ReplyDeleteAs for fabric, right now I currently get my fabric from Hawthorne Threads. I know they have some nice solid colors in pink but their yds usually run about $8.00 and up. Have you tried Joanns?
O wow! It looks so fresh with the new colors and hardwood floors.
ReplyDeleteI noticed today that wooden dollhouses were on sale on Zulily. They're from Melissa & Doug. Just an FYI!
ReplyDeleteHow scared were you when you saw that original rug? I like your new paint color...very bright, clean and fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all of the lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Joann's or Hawthorne's yet - thanks for the suggestions.
Barbara - that dollhouse was so cute, great tip! Unfortunately I'm on a spending freeze at the moment, but I'm going to keep that one in mind.
I was very disturbed by everything in that room when we bought the house - the rug, the blood red walls, the animal print purse border. But I knew it could be very pretty and I was excited to de-bordello it!
that's a great rug. i love how it looks with those coral/pink swatches. great palette!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask where you got the rug from? I didnt see the link to the source.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terese!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - the rug was purchased at Anthropologie but is no longer available.
