home tour | playroom

About once a month, I get that “nesting” urge you hear about during pregnancy. The difference is that this time, I’m feeling and looking like I’m a full 9 months pregnant so I rarely complete the task!

I finally had the urge to vacuum, mop, and clean up our playroom. I ordered some curtains final sale from Anthropologie and was ready to hang those up.

Our playroom NEVER looks this clean. It takes a lot of effort to get the boys to return it to this state after we play every day, so I knew I needed to photograph it while I had the chance! 

Everything in this playroom is second hand or in sub-par shape because it’s our playroom. The couch was the first one we bought when we bought our first house and apparently it’s like catnip to our cat. It’s barely hanging on! We got the entertainment center, rug, leather chair, teepee, and ottoman from Facebook marketplace/craigslist. We spend most of our time in here and it needs to be kid friendly!

I decided to go with black and white decor because the rest of our house is pretty neutral and the bright toys would have competed too hard with any other decor! We haven’t painted this room yet and I dread the day I decide to...one of the previous owners painted over the beadboard - latex over oil-based - and it is peeling like crazy. It’s in horrible shape and I think it would be easier to rip off the beadboard and start over rather than try to strip it and paint it! 

That’s about it! You can find us here most of the time; playing, watching tv, and hanging out as a family!
