New PLAYROOM

These last few weeks have been spent re-doing an armoire. It was Bryce's growing up {came from Mexico} and was a bit on the rustic side. You know, stained wood with iron hardware. Not a fan. We painted it solid black to match our old Master Bedroom decor before we moved into the new house. It was awful black too. 


I am really, really into up-cycling these days. Why go buy something new if you have something that can get the job done? And if you have been a long time reader you know that even when I do go buy something new for the house it's usually bought at a thrift store or Goodwill.  I will never pay full price for anything. As a matter of fact I have a hard time spending more than $7 on most things. $7 seems to be my max depending on the item of course. 


Anyhow, I took the old Armoire and decided that that I would tackle it. It's so huge and so heavy. And so huge and so heavy. And so... well, you get it. It's big and heavy.  I knew that it would be an under taking but I was ready for it. The weather was starting to cool off a bit. We had a cold front that took us from 112* to 95*.  If you were in 112* as long as we have been {without rain} 95* feels chilly. 


We moved that bad boy outside and I spent the next week working on it while Kyah was at PDO or napping. Or sometimes just playing outside with me. It was so fun to paint a little and then play chace. Then go back and work some more and then eat popsicles. Ahhh. I just adore that little boy. 


After a few weeks it was ready to move inside. The only catch.... the room I needed to put it in was currently being used as our guest bedroom. Eeeks.  I'm blessed to have a momma that will come visit us and help move rooms around. Took us just a few hours and we had the room empty {and switched with another room}.  I was so excited to move the new Armoire into the room!  


SIDE NOTE { as if there are not already enough of them}: I created the Armoire to match the baby girl's bedding we had custom made. At this point we have not completed our home study or anything but if someone ever gave us a call that said we have a baby girl, you bet your bippy that nursery would be completed in 2 hours! 


All of that said to introduce you to the new playroom: 

We LOVE it!  Next I will post tips, pricing and a few other details so that you too can get ideas and create a playroom!
