Playroom Mood Board and Design Update

May 11, 2020

Our home is forever evolving into our personal home style and what brings us joy. That even means rooms that have already received a makeover, just might be revisited again. That’s exactly what is happening with our playroom. It was the first room we focused on when we moved in three years ago. Needless to say, I’m itching to get my hands on it for an update. 

Here’s what it looked like when we moved in and then what it currently looks like:

The current design and look of the playroom is not bad at all. We have thoroughly enjoyed it the past three years. But my main goal with this revamp is to make it functional and more of my toddler’s fun personality. Currently I feel like it’s a place to store away all the toys versus being a space that can actually be used to its fullest potential. Here’s what I’m planning for the playroom when it comes to the decor, design elements and my favorite part: the paint colors.

Some of the current decor will be staying, but a lot of it will be going as we DIY our way through the playroom design. One of the biggest changes you’re going to see in the space will be the use of the Benjamin Moore paint colors. I picked a few of Benjamin Moore’s 2020 Trending Colors along with a few others mixed in. The colors we’ll be using are Thunder, White Heron, Cushing Green, Warmed Cognac and Black Beauty.

I’ll be heading to Ace Hardware this week to pick these paint colors up to get started. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am! If you’d like to see more of the design plans, inspiration for this space, and paint tips and tricks from Ace Hardware, head here to my Pinterest Board where I’ve been pinning away. Make sure to tune in to Instagram as we show you behind the scenes of the process and check back here regularly for the how-to and reveal posts.

    You are so busy in this room. Can’t wait to see the final (is anything final on decorating!?!) outcome. The warmed cognac catches my eye as a color off of the “normal” palette. It’s intriguing and works as well as one of the color combination you chose. Perhaps it wins in the “most unique” category!

    I am loving the colors. They are motivating me to put some similar ones in my laundry room. Do you think having different color in my hallway (blue gray) would not look well with a olive green?

    […] Some people say the best way to design a space is to start with the rug. For me, it’s the paint. For this playroom makeover I challenged myself to pick out a few colors from Benjamin Moore’s Color Trends 2020 Palette. It includes 10 harmonious hues that range from saturated to bright and airy. Basically, the best of both worlds. These colors are stunning colors on their own or if they’re paired with one another. So which ones did I go with? My final choices were White Heron, Thunder and Cushing Green. I also threw in Warmed Cognac and Black Beauty as additional colors by Benjamin Moore. Look at how gorgeous this color palette is for the playroom! You can also see the design board for this space here.  […]

We got the call that the pool build is starting! W We got the call that the pool build is starting! Which had me scrambling to dig up all the plants that were in the way in an effort to save them. Literally down to the last second before the crew showed up. Exciting day but you know what’s even more exciting? Knowing the next crew will officially be breaking ground with the excavation phase of the build.
This time of year is full of organizing and purgin This time of year is full of organizing and purging to bring spaces back to life. But sometimes all a space needs to feel refreshed is, well, a refresh and a little attention. Your number one requested space was the living room. So I gave mine a refresh with some unique and gorgeous finds from @homesense_us . I found a few fun pots for my houseplants, a gorgeous magnifying glass, and a few other items for our coffee table and couch.

I never know what I’m going to find when I walk into Homesense since it’s always rotating with amazing finds. But I do know I’ll walk out with a few new favorites for my home at affordable prices. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check and see if you have a Homesense near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesensePartner
2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to ma 2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to make 2023 even better! And I hope you join me! We can be one of our biggest cheerleaders, but together we’re going to do big things. Go ahead and write down a big, small and a few in-between projects you want to get done this year in your home. Kicking it off with intention and that reminder that we can do this. Ready to get started?! Let me know in the comments the first project you want to tackle!
We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the window projection up and running! It was a hit for Halloween and just as fun for this time of year as well. I built frames wrapped with a plastic drop cloth but you can also secure the drop cloth over the windows using command strips. The videos are from @atmosfx and we use a mini projector to play them on the screen. Place a Bluetooth speaker outside and you’re in business! Such a fun addition this time of year for the exterior of your home.
It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed t It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed to do in order to give the green light for the pool to start. And 2,456 pavers later, it’s done! This was exhausting but worth the money we saved doing it ourselves. And why remove them? We’re using a different stone around the pool and we want it to be cohesive up to the house. Don’t worry, someone got one heck of a deal on these pavers, we made a little money, and someone else got them out of our driveway. I’d say that’s a win-win. Stayed tuned for the entire pool process as we enter 2023. It’s going to be pretty exciting to watch!
Our patio space has served us so well over the yea Our patio space has served us so well over the years and now it’s time for a change because we’re getting a POOL!! Sharing this with you makes it even more real because just a year ago I would have told you it isn’t in the cards for us. We’ll be breaking ground soon but first we have to remove the screen enclosure. Spoiler: we won’t be putting one back up around the pool. It has already made the biggest difference visually and SO much natural light pours into our home now with it gone. It’s going to be so exciting seeing this all unfold so stay tuned! Up next: removing the pavers.
This holiday season we were able to travel to my h This holiday season we were able to travel to my hometown for the first time in awhile. We were greeted by the most beautiful sunset on the beach. Fast forward to this week as I headed to @homesense_us for some holiday shopping, and I ended up finding a few pieces for our home that remind me of that core memory on the beach. The beautiful wicker bench caught my eye first followed by the comforter and toss pillows. Everything at amazing price points while not sacrificing style and quality. #HomesensePartner

Mixing a thrill of a find with a core memory, I guarantee you'll fall in love with your home even more as you go to decorate. Decorating your home isn't grasping on to the newest trend or what you think others would do. It's what YOU want to do. And sometimes that's based on an emotional connection. Oh, the stories your spaces will be able to tell as you decorate each one. Start with seeing if there’s a @homesense_us near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesenseSarasota
