Playroom

This. This space. This is where the fun stuff happens.

When we moved into our home 8 months ago, I fell in love with our 3rd floor loft and while I had daydreams of a beautiful office and oasis for momma...real life smacked me in the face! 

Three littles and no playroom meant tons of toys, messy bedrooms, and irritated momma. 

That was the birth of the playroom. 

Once I embraced the playroom, my goal was to create a space that was cute, colorful, clutter free, & totally functional. 

I wanted an environment that would encourage play, creativity, independence, and FUN. I mean, isn’t that what a playroom is all about?!

I think this space does exactly that. 

Organization

• The IKEA trofast toy storage units are perfect for toy organization and keep the room clutter free AND hide the mess! Woop woop. 

Super durable, functional, and hold 80% of our toys!

• Baskets are not only cute but great storage...the large basket homes the stuffed animals & baby dolls. The small baskets are perfect for baby accessories and miscellaneous items. 

•As I’m sure you can see, these kiddos have a book collection that could rival any library! Our book case has been with us since Drew was in my belly. One of my favorite baby shower gifts and home to some of our most prized possessions. 

Decor

•The wooden signs from Salty Bison brighten up the space...colorful, beautifully made, and what this room is all about. 

Bonus...they match perfectly with our IKEA abacus! 

•The art display was a DIY from a few years ago...wooden frame, chicken wire, and a talented father in law created this guy. 

Now I can enjoy my favorite works of art by my favorite little artists!

•This rocking chair was Grammy’s then Dada’s and it’s a favorite in our playroom. I’m kind of a sucker for sentimental pieces and this one melts my heart. 

•The Lorena Canal Rug is incredible. It’s super soft, machine washable, and takes me back to my teaching days...Swoon! 

•The Lorena Canal Pouffe is not only stunning but super functional! Apart from the decorative element, it is so versatile...the most comfortable seat, best jumping platform (Drew’s Favorite), stage for concerts, and the perfect place to read to your babies. 😉

The cover unzips and is completely removable for easy washing...totally satisfying my inner boho goddess and OCD-ness! Score!

Transforming this space has legit transformed our day to day. This space is now functional, beautiful, and a place where I can enjoy my little monsters. 

Most importantly, it’s a place of fun!

Modern Little Boy Sports Room

When we moved to Ladera, we decided to put the girls together and that meant it was finally time for Drew to have his OWN big boy room.  

No more sisters. No more sharing. Boys ONLY!

What better way to commemorate this huge first than with a full blown big boy makeover! 

Our little slugger is a sports fanatic and I knew we could hit this theme out of the park! Guaranteed slam dunk! The true G.O. A. T! Ok...I’m done. 

Bedding:

Bed and bedding were the first things we tackled!

We are further away from my family so we knew we wanted a full size bed in case anyone spent the night. 

Beddy’s was a no brainer. The bedding is super soft and fits over the top of the mattress just like a fitted sheet. There aren’t any messy blankets hanging off the bed which makes the room look super put together. It literally looks like all the bedding is neatly tucked completely around the mattress! Winning!!

The best part is....Drew loves chores! Yup, you read that correctly...he’s a keeper! He can make his own bed and actually looks forward to it every day and it’s so easy. 

Zip. It. Up. 🙌🏼

Threw in the soccer pillow in honor of Drew’s favorite sport!

Dresser:

Our locker-inspired dresser added the right modern sporty touch with tons of extra organization! 🙌🏼 

Reading Corner: 

These stadium seats are actually from the old Dodger Stadium. Andrew and I were dating when they began renovating the stadium and Andrew had to get these bad boys! We drove out, picked these out, and had no clue where we’d put them until now. 

Now...we get to put them in our little guys room. 

Pretty cool, if you ask me!

Perfect place for our little slugger to sit, relax, read, and hang out!

Nightstands:

The nightstands are filled with vintage baseballs, LA Rams football, and vintage hockey sticks that were Andrew’s as a little boy! I think it gives the room a fun boyish feel.

Decorations:

PLAY Galvanized Metal Letters

The wooden round “Drew” sign is one of my favorite touches. Not only is it perfect for this stage...recognizing his name, letters, and writing his name...but has a classic masculinity that will transition as he gets older!

Wooden Sign 

Drew loves reading and his current favorites are Lisa Wheeler’s Dino Series! A fun read for Dino lovers and sports enthusiasts alike! 

Cheers to Drew having a ball and enjoying a space he can call all his own!
