Sooo, we have two playrooms. It sounds a bit over the top, but that's just how it is. We have five bedrooms. Two for guests and one bedroom for us. All of us. We co-sleep. Otherwise known as bedsharing. AKA sleeping as a family unit in one bed, getting very little sleep, getting kicked, punched, and poked every 15 minutes. But I digress.
Sooo, we have two playrooms. Which, once the boys go into their own beds, will turn into a bedroom for the boys and a playroom. I have recently discovered Pinterest and it is addictive. Too many ideas, too little time. But, it has motivated me to redo one of the playrooms into a room where the boys can still be boys, but there is room to grow.
I have had an image of a "vintage schoolroom" in my head for a while. I snagged an old school map with pull-down maps of California and the World off of Craigslist for free. I also snagged an old globe as well. They both have USSR emblazoned across them, but hey they were free and they are vintage. The maps will hang on one wall and I split the globe in half and plan to make pendant lighting out of the two halves.
Tomorrow we go from plans to reality. I have a contractor/handyman coming to create a reading nook out the playroom closet, complete with ladder and to build a tunnel between the two playrooms. I got the inspiration for the reading nook from this sleeping loft at Design Sponge.
Can't wait for this room to be done. I will post before and after pics soon!
