playroom mood board

so when we last saw the playroom (dining room) on the blog, it looked like this:

we did get the kitchen cabinet doors out of there awhile ago.  and the painting supplies... but the purple walls are still there, those curtains and light fixture are still there too.

and there are approximately ten tons of toys in here now.  not to be confused with the ten tons of toys in the basement, bedrooms, family room, and garage. yikes

so the plan is to somehow make this room more functional, and a place that the kids actually want to play in (because right now, they grab toys from this room, and then take them to play in the kitchen or family room).

the china cabinet is staying, we currently use it as a pantry off the kitchen.  and i plan to keep it blue.  the current paint on the walls, curtains, and light fixture need to go.  and some storage, play stations and a comfy rug are needed.  this is the direction i'm headed (see mood board below).  i've already purchased the rug.  and we own the expedit. next to corral all the toys, paint the walls (white i think?), replace the light fixture, hang up some art (ahem, find some fun inexpensive art, perhaps just using the kiddos artwork?).  so you all should see the 'finished' room in about...  4 years. i kid (i hope)
