Paint & Organization For A Playroom: Design Update

February 10, 2021

We are about halfway into our playroom makeover and it has already gone through quite the transformation!

The first few weeks were ALL about paint and organizing.

We color blocked the walls and doors, hand painted a mural and revamped the toy closet.

And the fun has only just begun!!

Keep reading for all of the makeover details thus far and make sure to subscribe to my blog for more projects and updates!

When I originally picked up the paint cans from my neighborhood Sherwin-Williams store, the manager looked at me like I was crazy.

“What do you have up your sleeve this time, Kera?”

They like to keep tabs on my projects. I like to keep them guessing!

Over on INSTAGRAM I spent a full week sharing all of my best tips and tricks when it comes to painting a room. My dad is a professional house painter and taught me well at a young age!

I love sharing my painting knowledge with others and even wrote a blog post about it! Click over to read HOW TO PAINT A ROOM – 5 MUST KNOW TIPS, and don’t forget to PIN it for later!

How to paint a wall like a professional

This playroom started off with plain gray walls which were elevated in MULTIPLE ways.

Color blocking, a hand painted mural and a bold colored closet, to name a few.

The color scheme includes staple neutrals, and bold (but muted) gender neutral shades.

Here are all of the paint colors I chose for this space!

I started this transformation by painting the base for the mural and by color blocking the walls. It took me a while to decide if I was going to also color block the doors and trim. In the end I chose to go for it and I AM SO GLAD I DID!

The Painted Mural

When it came time to paint the mural wall I called up a girlfriend of mine who also happens to be an amazing artist! She was super excited to jump in a teach me the ropes.

Using a WALLPAPER print as inspiration, I let creativity lead the way.

I learned so much during our few hours together. Tips revolving around which brushes to use, how to practicing shapes on cardboard before going to the wall, and stepping back often to check my work for balance.

After a few hours of “training” I felt I had a baseline to take it the rest of the way.

Before the reveal went live some of the furniture arrived for the space. I chose a THICK PILE RUG for my kids to cozy up on as well as a TWIN DAYBED (with a trundle) for relaxing movie nights and cousin sleepovers.

I also reinstalled the curtain rod and hung NEW CURTAINS that better fit the new space. If you struggle with choosing curtain length for your windows. WATCH THIS VIDEO!

The MURAL REVEAL on Instagram was epic! It was a super proud moment for me as a creator and the response was nothing short of amazing. Yes, I used wallpaper as my inspiration, but the general consensus deemed the final result being SO MUCH BETTER!

I couldn’t agree more!

After the walls were complete and large furniture pieces in place it was time to tackle the toy closet. OY!! Hot mess express doesn’t even begin to explain this disaster!

The problem was more from lack of functionality. As my kids have gotten older, their needs have changed and therefore the closet needed to be revamped to accommodate.

As I type this I’m realizing that I took video of the space in my Instagram stories but I didn’t take any photos. If you really want to see it I can probably dig it up, but trust me when I say it was BAD!

After emptying the closet completely I quickly realized that it would be best to take out the closet system and give it a complete revamp. Also, since the room was freshly painted it gave the perfect opportunity to go ahead and paint the closet as well.

I decided to use leftover paint from the wall mural and let my INSTAGRAM friends take full reign of the color choice. They chose Isle of Pines by Sherwin-Williams and I couldn’t have been happier!

After the paint went up I reinstalled our RUBBERMAID CLOSET SYSTEMS, even stealing some DRAWERS from the Master Closet to bring full functionality back to the space.

The weekend was spent purging and reorganizing. Im still waiting on a few more bins to arrive in order to deem it 100% complete, but its already WAY better than before.

THE PHOTO LEDGE

Since I like to utilize every inch of vertical space in a closet I decided to build a photo ledge above the closet system to display so of my kids artwork. I shared a full tutorial on Instagram and I’ll be writing a blog post soon sharing all of the steps.

PHEW! That is the past 3.5 weeks in a nutshell and we still have another few weeks of projects to go before this space can officially be deemed finished.

I’m pretty darn proud of this kid who had a visi I’m pretty darn proud of this kid who had a vision for his Lego’s and then decided he wanted to help with the whole project. 

It’s hard to get this one to open up sometimes but get a screwdriver or a level in his hands and he becomes an open book. He’s my project buddy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

What are some things that help your quiet kids to open up?

More photos of this space plus the full DIY open shelf tutorial is up on the blog..
