The loft final reveal

I have finally finished our loft!

It took me some time to really know what I wanted to do with the space, but thanks to some great comments and suggestions, the playroom is finished.

I added the word "read" above the bookcase. I got the letters from Hobby Lobby and spray painted them red, then attached them to the wall using Velcro. 

I got new chalkboard labels for the baskets off of groupon. 

Yes we do have a separate basket just for action figures!  

I then recovered the lampshade. 

The previous shade wasn't bad, but it just blended in to much.

Notice all of the "art" on the table? You can imagine my frustration when I saw that! All I will say on the subject is that it now has a fresh coat of paint...grrr!

Here is the new shade...much better.

and then there is the curtain. You can read all about that here.

I added some frames to walls next to the window.

The art I found online and just had them printed on cardstock.

I love all of the colors!

And lastly is this gumball machine. I'm still on the fence about it, but I think its so cute. We found it at a garage sale a few months ago and its been sitting in Tatum's closet ever since. I'm a bit scared to put anything in right now. Any thoughts?

Now here is the rooms transformation from start to finish:

and now

This room suits our family needs perfectly and I am so happy with the finished result!
