Playroom Makeover

I have wanted a playroom for Emrie and this house had the perfect room in the basement. The last owners used it as a gym, but I knew right away it would be our playroom.

Not only does this room keep all of Emrie's stuff organized, but it lets me get my teacher fix too:)

My budget was $500 to do this room (but I accidentily went over by $50), which might seem like a lot, but I literally had NOTHING for a playroom, including many toys. So here is the makeover and the budget breakdown!

Bookcases - Ikea, Big one $129, Small one $69
Green Bookcase Bins - Ikea, $40
Alphabet Letters and paint supplies - $61
Chalkboard Wall - Lowe's, $84
Reading Chair - Ikea, $30
Kid's Table and Chairs - Ikea, Table $40, Chairs $60
Art Easel - Ikea, $15
Hanging Art Wire - Ikea, $13
Magnetic Oil Pan - AutoZone, $9

Here is the room before...Pretty much just a storage room:





Here it is now:

Reading Corner


Hanging Art Wire and Magnet Oil Pan Board



Our family looks forward to having a blast in our new fun space!!!

Look for future posts about some of the details of the room.
