Playroom Progress: DIY Painted Play Sign

Since moving into the new house we've spent a lot of time staying cool at the pool. We've been trying our best to get every box unpacked and everything put in a logical place and that leaves little time for projects. Transforming the big room over the garage into a playroom is on the top of the 'to do' list.
Here is a sneak peek at some of the progress so far.

I painted some mdf letters from with red and white stripes and then coated them with a couple of coats of varnish for shine. They're mounted with hanging putty so when I'm ready to decorate the whole room or if I get tired of the crooked style, I can change it!

I found this Pottery Barn Kids bookshelf on Craigslist for $20 and love the little nook created by tucking it into the corner as you come into the room.

There are two steps down into the room and they make a little seat for reading and allow the shelf to be at a perfect height for little ones.

The Willkommen puppy sign is a souvenir from Germany and I found the Smile, Giggle, Be Silly at Homegoods. I wish it was a little bigger because it's so perfect for a playroom.

Decorating a playroom might just be more fun than decorating a nursery. I have a lot of cute things in store if I can find a little more time in the day!
