Since the house had JUST been cleaned, and AB went down for her nap before having a chance to blow through it like a tornado - here are some snaps of Annabelle’s playroom!

Her playroom is a bright (because it’s a sunroom!), warm & colorful little annex of our house - where I’ve been able to go in a very fun, but separate design direction from her nursery.  As mentioned before in my nursery post, I wanted her bedroom to feel calm & serene - but a playroom is a totally different animal.

The room really grew around the teepee, which was her 1st birthday present & came from The Land of Nod.  From there, I re-used Jonathan Adler for JC Penney curtains we already had (I always hold on to extra curtains, I am always changing them out between rooms or apartments over the years and have quite a collection).  They worked PERFECTLY because they were clean & crisp with the black greek key outline - which played off the black stems & frenetic print of the teepee.  I also chose to go with clean, black decals for the ABC's on the closet doors for this same reason.  The Teepee is the focal point & the decals are meant to educate, not be overly complicated - so simple was better.  The bookshelf & desk will be familiar to many as they’re good ol’ Ikea, and perfectly suitable for what they need to be.  The desk / office aspect of the playroom hasn’t really taken off yet, but it’s a nice spot to store the play bins under while we figure that out.
