39: home sweet tree

I feel like by the time I get around to showing you the whole playroom, you'll already have seen just about everything in it.  Hopefully this won't diminish the impact too much...

This is the tree mural I painted at the bottom of the stairs.  (Sorry for the picture quality...as you can imagine the lighting isn't ideal, so this space is going to be a challenge to photograph...I might have to actually bust out my tripod.)

As you can see, it's tucked into a little corner with the usual basement distractions, but I think it's a nice welcome into the space...

I also painted a couple of chairs.  Well, I personally didn't paint the actual chairs, but I picked the colors and then did the decorating part.

They're thrift store finds, and while there are actually 3 of them, I didn't decorate the spare one.

They've finally made their way to their new home and hopefully the girls are enjoying them at their awesome new art desk!

Of course my little imp had to get in on the action.  She was there when I bought them and insisted on helping with the painting, which she did a fine job of...

I love those chairs! It's amazing what a little bit of paint can do. Did you prime them first? Which finish of paint did you use. I have a couple of chairs I am getting ready to paint.

That mural is perfect. My favorite color pallette. Did you use your pantone guide? After I saw that post I totally want to get one.

Very cool. I am on pins and needles waiting for the "total" unveiling, loving all the pieces you've shared so far!

looks GREAT! i love that mural. i've been working in my son's bedroom which doubles as a playroom (hey! we live in california. playrooms are few and far between...ok, kinda.) those chairs are awesome as well. i've been hunting craig's list for a brio train table. your chairs and mural combined might be my answer to making a surely horrible train table amazing again. :)

yes, one day i will post photos...

Love it all! Those chairs are great!

Love the tree and chairs, and I don't think seeing the bits and pieces will ruin the big reveal. Each piece is it's own little piece of art!

you are out of control! I was blown away by the monster birthday, then the dahlia table and now a mural? Is there anything you don't do?? Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas--you're a rockstar! I seriously have printed all of these things and tucked them away for when my kids are older! thanks jessica, your blog is so inspiring--how do you find the time?!

I love your colors. They'd fit right in here at our house! I'm so impressed you can follow through with all the things you do! I always end up with ideas and no time to get them done. Jealous you've been able to find time to get to thrift stores too, that's next on my list to do...

Playrooms are so fun. I did one for a showhouse and turned the wall pipes into the tree. Crazy, huh? This reminds me of it without all the extra work. Great colors.

Oh, Jessica. I am swooning at that mural. I'd like one right in my own bedroom.

I wonder if my husband would notice if one day I did that while he was at work... ; )
