Elise's Playroom!

So I finally get to write a fun post!

For Elise's first birthday present we turned the "closet" off of our rec room into her playroom!

I absolutely love to decorate.  Especially for Elise!  So you can guess I had a blast creating this room for her.   We created a room that can grow with her but she can still enjoy at one year old.

First we had to choose a paint color.  Since when we put her nursery together we didn't know if God would bless us with a boy or a girl, her nursery is mostly gender neutral.  So I really wanted to give her a girly room, but I hate bubblegum pink on a wall.  We always use Sherwin Williams for our paint so I searched Pinterest and found the perfect pink: White Dogwood.  It's super subtle & airy; the perfect pink for our sweet princess.  We also wanted a chalkboard wall in the room so we made sure to use foam rollers for a smooth surface on that wall.

Next, I really wanted a reading nook.  I found this canvas & wood tent on clearance at Restoration Hardware Baby & Child (online).  It was still a splurge but it has little pink stars all over it and was way too perfect to pass up.  The star lights around the frame were a gift but I think they were purchased at Target.  We put E's Pello in there so she already loves to snuggle in for story time.
We also found these adorable sherpa chairs at Target.  I can't wait until she has friends over to watch Cinderella in these chairs!

I also wanted lots of storage.  We found these ClosetMaid cubbies & inserts on Amazon.

We also found her little tea party table on Amazon.  It's KidKraft and we adore it!

I made the alphabet banner with precut scrapbook paper and gold stickers.  My mom helped me out by laminating them at school.  Easiest craft ever.

Lastly, my favorite art in the room are the custom quotes made by the lovely Lindsey Pilgreen!  Follow her on intagram @b_h_handmade.

Hope you enjoyed E's sweet playroom!  It's nice to write about stuff other than hospital visits!
