Bonus Room Makeover

You may remember that our bonus room used to be beige, boring, and blah… We had an eclectic blend of hand-me-down furniture and nothing matched. We finally took the time and money to spruce up our “playroom” since it is where we spend the majority of our time together. Here is what it looked like before:

And here it is now:

room6

We purchased this couch at Macy’s and bought it especially for the chaise lounge at the end. We are planning on lots of long nights sleeping upright with a certain little bundle in our arms.

room5

Here’s another view. We painted the room the same grey-blue as our bedroom, and I just love the orange accents.

room4

Looking to the left, you can see our Christmas tree and Ellie Kate’s play corner. This is where we keep all of her toys.

room3

Here’s a close-up of the play corner. This is probably the most organized spot in our house. I cant stand toy clutter so we only keep out a couple of things at a time.

room2

Back across the room (behind the couch) is MY play corner :)  This is where I blog, craft, and now embroider!

room1

Here’s the view from my computer desk. Notice the baby swing in the corner : )

What a difference a little color and new furniture makes! As always, I LOVE all of the new improvements. It looks like such a cozy playroom/family room.

Wow...I LOVE that blue color! What's the name/brand? I'm thinking of painting our bathroom that color...but I'm having troubles finding the right hue. It's either too blue or too grey. Thanks!! :-)

I was looking at your blog today and my husband said.... who's blog is that? I was like... oh my friend Katie, except.... we're not really friends.

Where did you find that table/desk? It is exactly what I am looking for our loft though I prefer cherry wood but I'd be willing to compromise at this point I've been looking so long!
