As if there wasn’t enough going on in this playroom, I had to go and add more.

I picked up these plastic magazine holders for a buck several years ago and finally decided to do something with them.

I chose a corner or the playroom devoted primarily to reading, a little nook of sorts complete with a child’s recliner, rug and book holders.  Because the placement of the studs were off to attach the plastic bins directly, I asked my father to cut 4 pieces of plywood at a size that would allow me to safely place them on the wall without getting ripped out by 40 lbs of toddler muscle

I used inexpensive spray paint to coat them before screwing them together.  This project cost me a little over $10 and I can easily use the leftover paint for other playroom projects.

To add to this decor I decided to use these adorable prints while doing my tour O’ thrift stores and knew they would fit perfectly with the primary colour decor.  The series of three were a steal at $2 and had an IKEA sticker on the back

They co-ordinate perfectly with these two on the adjacent wall I purchased for $4 at a yard sale

There, the playroom is complete. ….just in time to move.
