We have been talking for a few years now about updating the den/playroom. We went rounds about putting a TV in there and then one weekend JJ just did it while we were away :) (and we gals LOVE it)
When our painter came to do the downstairs bath I told him the next project was going to be the den across the hall. Unfortunately we were low-people on the totem pole but it's FINALLY our turn. I told Husband I wanted it done before his surgery since MY plan is to move our bed down for at least a week-10 days.
It's been a LONG TIME since the Den to Playroom Transformation and a while later we got the cushy new carpet
LOTTA life has been lived in this little room....
We replaced the carpet back HERE
and had lots of sleepovers....
Abbey and I went to SHERWIN WILLIAMS on Saturday morning and she had NEVER been there before... this is a girl who travels ALL.THE.TIME. loves live music and goes to concerts at LEAST 1-2 times a month... but had NEVER been to get paint. :)
I ordered new curtains that Husband will be able to pull if he wants to rest a bit with the sun coming in... and we went with the "Drift of Mist" which sounds more greenish/blueish than it actually is.
Husband removed the chair rail, on Saturday I hauled everything out of the room, threw away some trash *ahem* and got it READY for our painter...
Husband drew a line around the "My Prince HAS come ~ His name is DADDY" because he was going to trim it out for me so it stays....
Oh the stinkin' puff! This "gift" from Sky takes up some SERIOUS real estate
The painter showed up around 8AM on Tuesday morning....and PAINTED OVER "My Prince HAS come his name is DADDY" AND the girls FREAKED! So did Husband and I....broken hearted for sure... I will have to have a sign made because we all loved it so much...
But here's where we are at with obviously a few details that will need to be finished up but I couldn't wait to post the pics.... my curtain is DELAYED from Amazon *insert eye roll*
This corner used to be FILLED with cords and wires but Husband and I brainstormed (after ordering something from Amazon that didn't work for what we had) and we cleaned it right up!
I am in search of a three drawer basket style to get rid of the pink/purple plastic system that has worked so well for us for SO LONG! Minnie and I moved the puff ALL BY OURSELVES... MAN ALIVE is this thing heavy and AWKWARD! Also, please note, we need updated cushions on the window seat and new EURO pillows...
I mean OBVI had to put the disco ball and sunglasses back...it's still gonna be the gals hang out space :)
On Sunday I asked Miss B if she might be able to tackle putting the new door knob on... she jumped RIGHT into the challenge and voila!!! New doorknob!!! Well DONE MISS B!!!
and these two pics are just for JJ... I asked if there was a way to connect two coax cables, he told me yes, I went to ACE, found the piece and Husband got everything connected....moved the shelf and cut a whole for everything to go through...
Hooray!!!!! everything is tucked out of the way (not NEARLY as organized as JJ would like), but nothing will get hit and I wish we had thought of this YEARS ago when there were a millions kids playing dodge ball in the den! Ha!
still a bit of a work in progress, REALLY sad about our quote being painted over but HAPPY for a fresh coat of paint on EVERYTHING and having an updated space for the gals (and Husband and I).
