Ideas for Kids Play Room, Rain Gutter Book Shelves, and Library

We're sharing some great ideas today that you could use to create a space just for the kids....complete with their own library as well. All it takes is a little imagination to make a space like this fun for the kids.

Have you heard of rain gutter bookshelves? There easy to install and you can customize the size to fit any wall in your home.  Our wall quote "Imagination, because a good book has no ending" would be the perfect on the wall above the shelves. It's easy to do and it defines a space for a child's library. This darling playroom was decorated by my daughter and their kids love spending time in their own space-reading and creating.

This wall quote comes in two different colors but the quote comes in one piece......you won't have to put up "imagination" and then trying to match and center the sentence below. We make it easy for you. The paper banner is made up of colors that match the decor in the entire room so it is a great decor accessory,  easy to make and very colorful.

You can make these rain gutter bookshelves as long or as short as you like. How big is the blank wall you have? Customize it to fit any space in your home whether it's a large space or a small space.

There's a corner in this playroom that is very well organized with all the creative tools the kids need and use. There's a child-sized table next to it for coloring and creating, This system came from IKEA and is very affordable.

This reading corner is complete with a bean bag to sit on. Who knows, the kids may be so comfortable they may stay and while and read more in their own library.

The "LOVE" sign is so darling, and the distressed look is easy to do too. A piece of beadboard was used for the backing.

Material and a hoop is all you need for this darling wall decor.  Super Simple!

A place to hang up the dress-ups is easy with this shelf. 

Here's a easy tutorial for putting up Rain Gutter Shelves in your home.....and don't forget the vinyl quote to go above them......it will just finish the look!  Click HERE for the Vinyl Quote

Halloween Sign-The Haunted Mansion-Enter if you Dare!

 I've wanted to make this sign for Halloween ever since I saw something similar on Pinterest last Halloween. Determined to get it made this year I started the project at the end of September. My husband (Builder Chad) and I went to our local Habitat store and picked up some of the supplies we needed to build the sign. (see list & prices below)

Head over to our Etsy shop to get the vinyl lettering for this sign.  Click HERE

 The sign and post were painted an antique white. The edges were sanded and then stained with a walnut stain. A hole was drilled in each side of the sign and a chain was added.

Here's a close-up. The sign is made out of a 4x4 fence post and a handrail newel. Builder Chad used a skill saw to cut the notch in the 4x4 to receive the squarel end of the newel . It was painted, sanded and stained it to look old. To put it into the ground some holes were drilled in the bottom of the post and then some pieces of steel rebar were inserted into the holes. He left enough extending out of the post so it could be put into the ground. (actually that was my idea....I thought it was brilliant since it meant no one would have to dig a hole...yeah, I've been known to have a good idea every once in a while)

I knew I was making the sign this year so I got to the local dollar store as soon as they put out their Halloween things so I could get these crows. (I couldn't find any last year)

I hope these dollar store crows hold up in our weather. We may be getting some snow this week.  Well, only time will tell. So let's recap.....Beam $3.00, Newel $2.00, Crows $3.00, Chains $3.00,  Paint (already had it) Stain (already had it)  Get the vinyl over in our Etsy shop  www.itswrittenonthewall.etsy.com

I love having this as part of our outside Halloween decorations. I just hope it doesn't end up in someone else's yard. No, just kidding....but I did have a 4 ft. plastic Christmas Tigger disappear from my front yard one Christmas....and Winnie the Pooh has been down in storage ever since. (poor Pooh)
