A Playroom Project

I am currently working on turning our office (which we seriously NEVER used) into a play room for Emmy. Mainly because my OCD gets all out of control when I see her toys all over my living room. (I am working on coping with this.)

I wanted a place to hang her artwork on the wall (I really plan ahead), and saw some really cute pinterest corkboard makeovers, so I enlisted my mom (who really did all the work) to help me.

So here is our before:

We then took adhesive spray and sprayed the cork, placed the linen fabric over it and took upholstery tacks and started in the four corners.

And, ta-da!

Because my tutorial is pretty lame, here is the one we went off of from two twenty one. I will say, I liked using a solid fabric because it leaves you a little room for error. Which, let’s be honest, when it comes to a craft project, I need a little room.

I am still in the process of looking for a media center/storage for her toys, but here is the new rug I got from Overstock (they sell the same one at Home Decorators for twice the price) and the table my inlaws got Emmy for Christmas. Iris’s mother-in-law painted it and it has a chalkboard top. I just LOVE it!

As per the usual, the pics were taken with my phone. But we are operating on a slim time margin around here!

  3. You crack me up with the planning ahead. But you'll be glad you have a space once the toys REALLY start to get out of control! Love the cork board!

  4. What a great idea for the chalkboard top, and what a fabulous job on the cork board. That is incredible, and trust me, I'd be a little crazy too with toys everywhere. Having her own little room will be perfect. :)
