Do you use your dining room? Since we never use this space, I decided we should turn it into a playroom.
Hubby
challenged me to create a playroom with a budget of $0! Say What?!?! I
asked him how was I suppose to do that??? He said, "you'll figure it
out." I thought this was his way of saying "no" to my idea of
transforming the space, but I was going to accept his smarty-pants
challenge!
If I had $0 for a budget, then I had to get creative and find free money.
I like our kitchen table more than our "dining" table, so I sold our dining table and 4 chairs (I kept 2 chairs for another project) on craigslist for $350.

My parents have been bugging me to sell my piano (that I left at their house) for awhile, so I finally sold it on craigslist for $450.
I have a few more items to sell, but so far I have a budget of $800 to create a playroom! Ha! Take that Hubby and your $0 budget!
My home has a coastal vibe decor {or I've tried to make it like that}, so I want to create a playroom that goes with the flow of the rest of the home. This is the design board I created with a few of the items that I've purchased already.
I still need a rug and artwork, but I have a starting point to work with.
I found this room on Pinterest and I fell in LOVE! This room will be my inspiration as I decorate the playroom!

I really don't want to repaint the
dining room {for cost and labor purposes}, so this room gives me hope to
have a neutral wall color that still has a bright and cheerful room
feeling.
I'm excited to start on another budget design challenge! I wowed Hubby on Caleb's budget nursery, so I hope to do the same on this budget playroom!
I LOVE your ideas!!!!!!!! SUPER cool girl!
