Playroom / Office Makeover

Hello again!  It has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog, however I have a very good reason - I had another baby!  I was really sick at the beginning of my pregnancy and all I wanted to do was sleep or lay on the couch.  I didn't feel like doing anything.

Margaret was born at the beginning of February and I am now itching to get going on room makeovers, cooking new recipes, and some DIY projects.  First I thought I would get you caught up on what I did do while I was pregnant (when I had the energy).

Because we were having another child, my husband had to give up his office for the nursery.  Earlier we had converted the front room in our house to a playroom for our daughter and an office for myself.  Now we where going to have to make it an office for both of us.

Check out this blog post to see what the playroom looked like - Creating a Playroom.

Here is what it looks like now...

I painted the walls a light gray color with one accent wall painted a shade of blue and I also painted the trim white (something that I am slowly doing throughout every room in the house).  My husband was using an old teacher's desk that I had found years ago at a local thrift store and I wasn't willing to part with it.  Therefore, he got to move this extremely heavy desk down the stairs and into the "new" office.  :)


On the wall with my daughter's table, I painted a small chalkboard for her to use.


It is a small room so toy organization is key.  My husband and I use the computer on a daily basis and we didn't want to be stepping on toys every time we go into the room.
