the new playroom.. coming soon:

we are in the middle of a transformation, we are turning the dining room into a playroom. it was time. we never used it as a dining room- and a playroom seems more practical for us right now. it is still a work in progress- but i wanted to share what we have done so far. we did find a rug- finally. i ended up getting an 8 x 10.. it covers almost the whole room. i love this rug. i found it at pottery barn on sale- thank goodness- i was going insane w/o carpet in there. we painted the room last saturday.. i love the color. it is a very light yellow (behr- hummus) it's perfect. we still have so much to do... hang a new light, get bookcases, hang art, add the art table, finish the chalkboard frame, and etc, etc.. i'll keep you posted but for now...

BEFORE:
i loved this table- and it was so hard to see it go- but it never got used- and i knew the room would be so much more useful. i was so thrilled- we sold our table just 3 days after posting it on craigslist. we sold it for 100 less than we paid 3 years ago. cha-ching.

NOW:
maddex loves his new room, almost as much as me.

AFTER:
coming soon. stay tuned.

Cute! Now, for the finishing touch, all you need is a basketball-themed light fixture. But I bet you've got that covered!
