Here’s the before…ready for this? Brace yourself, it’s UGLY.
And now…
Before, ugly RED dining/junk room…
After! Welcome to Samster’s new playroom! I love the aqua & orange combo…soothing but fun.
One wall has a bookshelf (I’ll show you the makeover of it later in the week, it was just an old basic honey colored bookshelf from P’s college days before) Now it’s the same watered down ‘Aviary Blue’ as the ceiling. (Sherwin-Williams paint) The walls below the chairrail are done with a japanese masking tape tutorial from LGN, I’ll also tell you about that in another post this week…
And on the other side of the old “dining” room was what I guess you’re supposed to use as a formal livingroom? We’re not very formal people so it was more of a holding space for extra random furniture…
And now it’s a dining room! One you can actually EAT in, what a concept huh? Only took me almost 4 years to do…
Someone asked me for a close up of what I have on the table…just some random knick-knacks on a wicker tray…
I’ll tell you more about the details of the room like the picture frames on the wall I painted, dyed curtain panels, taped walls & painted furniture but right now I have to go pack. Samster & I are off to the Florida with my family for the holiday weekend. It’ll be my last chance to get out of town before the 3rd trimester officially begins!
Wow! I love the colors, so fresh and pretty. And I love that it doesn't scream kiddie playroom. Great job!
Holy cow! You did beautifully. It doesn't even look like the same rooms are photographed for the before and afters.

Ironic- we just turned our playroom into a dinning room 🙂 Where did you get that chandelier? It's the missing piece in my dinning room.
wow! awesome job! it looks great
It looks great!!!
Excellent job! Nice and nuetral. Just like a page in the pottery barn magazine. 🙂 Where did you get the giant white wall piece (tv cabinet and bookshelves) Are they separate pieces?
You were smart to put a couch in the playroom. You and babe can cuddle up on the couch and nurse and samster can play right there. good call.
I really like it. Your house is beautiful!
It looks great!
Looks good!
we're off to florida tonight too!! Last chance to visit home before the Army moves us out to Texas next month
Looks awesome!!
Great job! That looks beautiful!
I love it! The colors are so much better than that deep red. I love that you're using the space for the way you actually live. Have a fun trip!
I love it. I would love to know what color you painted the walls we are looking for a light neutral that isn't just white. Thanks!
Looks amazing!
What a great room. It turned out beautiful.

Where did you get your new dining room chair and table? They are just what I am looking for in my dining room. Enjoy Florida!
Looks great!!
I would also like to know your wall color please- it's lovely!
very nice job! You deserve a holiday!!! 😉
One word…WOW!!!! Doesn't even look like the same room. The new room looks so much bigger!! The walls look taller too. Stunning!!
P.S. Thanks for posting the table centerpiece pic.
Oh Wow!! You did an amazing job. your fish painting turned out great & really ties the colors together too. Seriously beautiful!
Wow! The changes are so big and it is so great. My sister needs to see this post. She has a 2 year old baby and it is starting to run and play. This is a great inspiration for her.
GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB! Just curious, though, where oh where did you get that pretty blue couch? I would love to find a piece of furniture in that color. Been hunting for far too long and yet there it is before my very eyes! 🙂
Thanks Jori! That couch is ollllld school from my college days. It's actually the first "real" piece of furniture I bought for myself. It's from Ashley Home Furniture though…
this is a excellent idea to redecoraded the room, is perfect to make this in children rooms, you know make more comfortable to play and safe to be in there.
