We wanted to transition our crazy toy-filled playroom into a multipurpose room…key word, PURPOSE!  We wanted to use it in as many ways as possible.  Since our kids are 11, 9, and 3, they each need different things when it comes to a space.
We knew we antes an additional homeschool area for the big kids so we could all be upstairs during the school day together.  We also wanted to keep our reading nook included in the space, so it seemed natural to put the homeschool area on the same side of the room.
We also needed a craft area (hence the big craft table!) and storage for supplies (cabinets on wall.)
We still have toys-various blocks in the cabinets, stuffed animals in the big armoire, and trains in the armoire drawers.
The biggest project was definitely the 6 bunk beds!  We often have lots of guests and knew this would be a neat place for them to stay if we had larger families come.  We also loved the idea for slumber parties and hanging out/reading during the school day.  My husband built these from scratch!  They took months-he doesn’t even own a table saw!
We truly wanted it to be able to be used in multiple ways, even simultaneously…we have achieved just that!
I should also mention-It’s Finding Nemo themed 🐟

We updated Campbell’s nursery into a big girl room!

“It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears.  It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears.  There’s so much that we share, that it’s time we’re aware…it’s a small world after all!  There is just one moon and one golden sun, but a smile means friendship to everyone.  Though the oceans are wide and the mountains divide, it’s a small world after all!”
We LOVE disney world and are annual passholders…therefore we love it’s a small world!  It’s such a special ride to me.  I rode it as a little girl too!  For a few years now I’ve wanted to do our nursery in this theme and finally got to do so.  I wanted it to look very much like the ride–and my favorite artist, Mary Blair’s beautiful geometric designs on the ride and her ride concept art.  I knew I wanted lots of gold and white, but it took me a long time to figure out what other colors I wanted to add.  I was very close to doing just golds, silvers, and white like the ride queue at Disney World, but I decided to throw out the silver and add corals, pinks, and mint–still nodding to the tons of gold and white and glitter found on the ride :) And now, we have converted it to a big girl room!
The geometric prints are my absolute fave part of this beautiful ride and concept art.  I knew I wanted a WHOLE wall…it took me 4.5 days and LOTS of painters tape…but I did the focal wall by hand.  I also added touches of gold glitter papers here and there as some of the shapes.  I also painted a lot of the shapes by hand.

Made by me and not included in links:
clock facebuildingsfeature walldresser (painted by friend)several of the arts above the dresser (“2”, circles, one golden sun, happiest cruise, world of hopes, etc) Couldn’t find a link for:
the round coral pillow in the chair :)  I think it’s from the At Home store!The white flokati rugs I taped together from Homgoods :) I knew I wanted a gallery wall–so I made lots of things and collected lots of items as well!  One of my fave things on that wall above the coral dresser (my childhood dresser painted by my friend and face-lifted with new hardware) is the gold heart with the hollywood lights.  Those lights remind me so much of the lights on the ride!
My fave thing besides the feature wall is probably the clock face.  I knew for a long time I wanted this above the crib, and I needed it to be light in case it fell randomly–at first it was going to be wood!  I changed my mind and had a local sign shop cut me a solid white circle from foam board and then I used glitter paper and hot glue to make the face.  I also did this with the large buildings (that look like the ride!) on the adjacent wall.  I originally had more buildings but took some out so it wouldn’t look too busy over there.
I also knew I wanted hot air balloons as a nod to the ending of the ride :)
I couldn’t find a cheap flokati WHITE rug (all I could find was tons of ivory!) so I found two small ones at Homegoods and literally duct-taped them together on the back :D
This entire room, all the furniture, decor, paint, etc–was probably around $1200.  I try to stay cheap!This room is a dream come true for me and really special :)  The ride and words to the song are precious–promoting world peace and trying to get us all to relate to one another and see that we really aren’t so different after all!  I also love all the cultures in the ride and everything the kids can learn about world geography–it’s so fun!Thank you for viewing our nursery!  I hope you like it :)

Almost 3, London was still sleeping in her baby nursery and in her crib with the front taken off.  It was time for her to feel like a big girl!  With potty training underway and a new baby brother, we wanted to give her a fun space that had TONS of DIY and had a very small budget to do it!

We transformed our upstairs bonus room over the garage into our 2 year old daughter’s playroom! I handmade so many of the things in this room, mainly the decor/fabrics from her 1st birthday party that I didn’t want to go to waste! Done on a strict budget and also serves as a hang-out room in the evenings for adults/friends and as a guest room.

An economical ($1000!) nursery for our new baby Jude! Inspired by vintage, antique pieces that were spruced up, bold textures/patterns, and a taste of a winter woodland theme, this nursery was done on a budget and many of the projects were created by us. Accessories, furniture recovering, fabric choices, wall hangings, etc. were DIY and very cheap!
