Playroom Redo!!!

[SilverSabre25]

We spent a LOT of time this weekend working on the playroom, bathroom, and naproom. I didn't get the curtains made, but we got them painted which was a HUGE improvement.

Here are the before pictures of the playroom--please excuse the general messiness of these, I didn't clean up much before starting to paint and move crap. It didn't usually look anywhere *near* this cluttery, .

And here are the before photos of the daycare bathroom and the nap room...

Here are the after shots of the playroom...

I love seeing pictures! Are you using a mattress for the "kid couch" reading area? I have one I'm going to use for the same purpose too, . Do you have a rug you can add under the table to make a more defined area for the dramatic play area? It must feel good getting all the painting done! Good job!

Yep, that's my daughter's old crib mattress. I sewed the pillowcases for the pillows that are lining it. Here's a close-up of the reading area, and a shot of the fabrics I'm making curtains out of. The animal print is for the bathroom, the crayons are for the playroom, and the stars and moons for the nap room.

Wow, how did you do the clouds that look like things????

My super-duper-awesome artistic sister painted them. She used a regular paintbrush and free-handed all of them. She's the bestest.

The room with the clouds looks really nice but is there any way you can lighten the paneling? maybe white wash them?
also a nice area rug to "soften" the nap room would be cozy.
The living room (I think) the room with the couch has a crib right under a shelf.. some parents would be be little nervous with that.
I know I live in earthquake country but it's just an overall safety thing I noticed right away.
The bathroom is beautiful!!
I never thought about hanging the toddler toilet seat like that. What a good idea!!!
Great job with the painting!!

Very nice, I love your peach color, would you mind sharing the color name. You did a very nice job with your space. And the clouds are adorable.

What a great transformation! I'm off next week and hoping to paint my bathroom and playroom. Seeing your pictures is inspiring me to get it done!

Looks great! Love the nap room, it def makes it look cozier. I think a rug in the nap room would look lovely as well.

Great job silver, you can tell you take great pride in your daycare.

LOVE the room with the clouds and I didn't notice that they looked like anything at first - had to go back and look again. Really cool!

Good point about the shelf (given yesterday's East Coast earthquake that I felt, ); it's the stuff on the shelf that's the issue, probably...the shelf itself is anchored so firmly that I think it would support my (not insignificant, ) weight. I'll see about taking the stuff off. I might switch the pack n play and the changing table, although the pnp does a good job of blocking access to the stupid built-into-the-wall mini fridge that was put in by the old owners. At least it's my own DS that uses that pnp right now.

Lowes Olympic Premium-- Honey Butter. It's a very nice, warm color. I love it!


I want badly to get a large area rug or those interlocking blue foam mats, but that's out of my price range atm, as is doing something about the paneling. Even the paint and fabric was money we don't actually have (hello credit card...). Trust me; those things are in the future plans!

I guess it wasn't peach color. Looks like it on my screen. Sounds very pretty though.
