TA-DA . . . The Playroom

First it was Cassie's room, I painted it for her 3 years ago, it was multicolored, Fuscia, blue, green, yellow and purple.

The the "people under the stairs" used it for awhile, still painted as it was before.


After that the room was trashed. The floors was nasty, way nastier than before. The walls were colored on and nasty, there was even food, yes food on the ceiling.


We decided that since Cassie had no desire to sleep downstairs we would make it into a playroom. We did every last bit of work ourselves.


We ripped out the carpet and laid laminate. We primed and painted. Primer although sometimes seems like a waste, it's cheaper than paint and we had to cover the darkly painted walls. We painted a chalkboard with chalkboard paint on the wall. In case you didn't notice it is supposed to look like an old sign, we were going for a semi-pirate theme. We plan on painting a sun and some greenery on the wall and a pirate skull on top of the chalkboard pole.

We also changed it from having a cheapo ceiling fan to a nice light. A ceiling fan where kids are going to be playing, rough it not the wisest idea.

We brought in a play and slide structure from outside. It has a trampoline, another slide, toys, the carebear couch, the sit and spin, all that big stuff. The toys are in the closet, but we removed the doors.

Not quite finished with all of our plans but we love it so far and the kids can play in there!
