lil projects

So we've been working on a functioning play room upstairs. It's been really fun. I figured bright happy colors because it's a bit on the small side. The kids love it and spend a lot of time in here! 
My first project was an old bench I made back when Kaylin was 2. We just did a quick make over- new fabric for the cushion seat, a little bit of bright blue paint and a new knob. 

The big project was the entertainment center. Family- this is the light wood armoir we had in the "pool room" growing up. It was black at our other house, but I thought it'd be fun to paint it blue. :) I LOVE it, one of my favorite pieces now. Changed the knobs too (they are all mismatched.)
And lastly, there is a whole wall of closets (So boring --but very functional!) filled with toys. I changed out the knobs (all mismatched still) and painted in the inserts the same blue.

 Seriously, painting makes me SO happy. It's like a get to release a creative outlet, almost like it's therapeutic!
So I'm very happy with this room! Now on to the next!!
