ORC: Week 6 - Playroom Reveal!

 It is reveal day everyone, which simply means, "all pencils down!" Memories of my High School teachers echoing those words in my ears make me smile. As a student, it literally felt like a day of reckoning :-). Well, luckily for us participating in this challenge, we have an incredible host who allows for time extensions. We are given 3 days to submit our final reveal, after which submissions become closed. Considering, I used pencils in my playroom make-over, I can assure you every single one of them are in their place, all down :-).



Well, on with the tour:




































Characters from Movie, "Inside Out". (My daughter drew them).


Magnetic board with foam and wood cut-outs (found here)...scenes are interchangeable. 
*Edited - I found the blog I got this idea from.














DIY Hanging Clip Boards 






DIY Play Kitchen 




Awning for kitchen made using vanity light shade.


Pencil Art/Chalkboard Wall



I originally made a pencil to hang as part of the gallery wall, but sadly, or should I say fortunately, it did not blend in very well. As a result, a new idea was formed, which included making a partner-pencil to create a roof for the chalkboard. Now, I think it has found a new home, where they both can actually shine. 

Doorway Puppet Theater



I wanted to use every inch of space in the room, so I incorporated a doorway puppet theater, a knock-off version of the one sold by Land of Nod. It is kept hanging by tension rods, and my kids can lift it up to go inside the closet without having it removed. My daughter's baby gym was used to make the outer pocket.
The puppets are Bible characters, David and Goliath. 

Added contact paper to line computer desk drawers







This is the first wall clock I ever purchased. We share a very strong connection, hence my need to incorporate it in this space. "Oh how much my taste have changed." Lol.








My favorite accessory in the room; the rug...these pictures do not capture its real beauty.

Pencils down = )

Does anyone else share this sentiment? = ) 
Regrettably, this is the last space I will decorate for my kids, well, for now.  It is bitter-sweet, because although they get to enjoy the space, I know I will miss the unlimited bursts of creativity 'seeping through my veins'. This feeling mostly occurs while in kids' mode. Decorating adult spaces usually keep me confined to a specific set of order, and rules.

Well, did you enjoy the tour? I hope so :-) You will find both the tutorial for the pencil, and the inspiration for hanging the paint brush, here.

  1. This is so special, Delia! It turned out so well! I love the paint color with the striped wall, carpet, and all of the fun, bright pops of color. I can tell a lot of love went into this room; it shows in all of the unique, personalized details. That chalkboard! And that paintbrush wall art! And the puppet theater and the kitchen play area...so perfect! You did an awesome job. And your kids are adorable "modelling" their new play room.

    1. Thanks Ruthie :-). I love your stripe wall as well. I wish I could take credit for the spice rack idea, but I saw it done somewhere and do not recall the site. Anyway, I had that thing for many years, unaware of what half the seasonings were..lol, so I thought, 'why not'.
