Fact: I’m not an interior designer/decorator. I often get compliments on my home’s decor and am proud of our space but the process to get to that point is always a long, stressful one. I’m very visual and very indecisive. I’m notorious for buying a ton of options, seeing them in the space at hand, and then taking it all back. That said, I am so excited about this room for a couple different reasons. The first reason is that it has easily become the prettiest spot in our home and my girls’ favorite, which totally works out for me since it’s upstairs and they can leave me alone play up there quietly. The second reason is because 90% of its contents were ordered online, which means I wasn’t able to see it all in the space before committing to it. Y’all, that means that I had a vision and it came out almost-exactly how I had planned! Seriously a milestone for me. Because this dream playroom makeover was a total overhaul and I want to show you all of it, I decided to break the reveal into two parts. Today I’m sharing Part 1.
Before
Before we get into the “After,” you have to see the “Before” for true appreciation. In full-disclosure, the room was a hot mess that used to half be an office and catch-all space. Now that my girls and I are home more often, I wanted a room dedicated to them, which meant all of the junk and unnecessary furniture had to go.
After
This room is divided into two halves, if you will. I envisioned the space as being a home for my girls. The half closest to the door (Part 2) is the “inside” of the home. The far half is the “outside” complete with a magic garden and Land of Fairy Tales. Without further ado, here it is.
Magic Garden
These adorable furniture pieces are all part of the Magic Garden collection from Fantasy Fields by Teamson. I love the toy organizer with storage bins because it’s super cute and is a good way to organize and display their toys. The standing mirror was absolutely a must-have for us. My girls love playing dress-up so the mirror paired with the adorable dress-up storage with 4 hangers next to it were no-brainers. The 3-drawer cubby under the window is a perfect fit and is holding more of the girls’ toys and some of their dress-up accessories like shoes and purses. I mean, how cute is this stuff?

Land of Fairy Tales
This teepee* was the perfect addition for “camping” in the “garden” and it was less than $100! I completed it with these adorable floor pillows from Floor Bloom. I absolutely love how big, soft, comfy, and vibrant they are! The colors mesh perfectly with the Magic Garden furniture. My daughters are seriously obsessed with their Floor Bloom pillows and they are often pulled out of the teepee* and played with in the middle of the floor. We love them. This space has already become a little book-nook for them as well as a fun hiding place. The giggles that come from this corner are the stuff memories are made of.

This room is amazing! Random question, do you have any idea the dimensions of this room? I’m trying to redo my girls’ playroom and Im having such a hard time laying it out. This room is a dream!
Hi!! Thank you!! So, I didn’t measure but my husband says it’s about 22×10 (I sits on top of our garage). Good luck!!
Such a dreamy playroom. You did such a great job. Love all the colors
Thank you so much, Sarah!
You did such a great job! Love the choices you made and the colors used. Every little girl’s dream!
Aw thanks, Angela!! My girls love it and that makes me so happy!
I love the dress up area and the mirror – I would have loved that!
Me too! At least I get to live vicariously through them now!
I have 4 kids, that’s A LOT of stuff and I need more storage solutions to help keep it all off the floor! I love this room. I have the cubby but the kids kind of bent and flattened the cardboard in the pull outs. 🙁 7 months, 2 years, 4 years and 6 years are Hard on stuff! lol
Oh no!! I’m sure you can put new cardboard down, right? And yeah – that’s A LOT of stuff to keep track of!
My daughter would love this! It would be so awesome for the room! Her and her brother share it. But im most certain my son would love it too! Lovely pictures.Thank you! 🙂
Thanks so much!! Good luck!!
Adorable! This is any girl’s dream room! My daughter would love the toy organizer for all her own toys to be kept in her room!
Thank you so much! And what girl wouldn’t love having her toys in her room?! Good luck!!
My daughter would love this! We would use it in her bedroom to keep her toys off the floor!
It’s perfect for that for sure!!

This toy organizer is adorable! I would use it in my daughter’s room to corral all of her toys. Somehow, she manages to have a couple of full toy bins even though she’s not born yet! Haha. The joys of hand-me-downs!

SHUT UP. this is so freaking cute. that unicorn wall mount? i need that for MY room.. my husband would probably disagree on it, but whatever. i’m pumped for part two because i really hope you guys kept the jumpy thing that i see in the “before” picture! those are fun
Ha! Go get one from Hobby Lobby and sneak it in!! And, we do still have the mini trampoline but we moved it out of the room because there was no place for it. And, THANK YOU!!
This room is totally gorgeous. If this room is mine, I will spend my wholeday inside this playroom. Nice renovation project 😘
Thank you so much! I definitely do like to sit in there and just look around!
LOVE the transformation! I am in the early stages of planning my toy room, this gives me major inspiration! That toy box would be great to have!

Wow! What a transformation. It turned out beautiful. I have a little girl and she would love this, especially the cute tee-pee and mirror. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity 🙂
Thank you so much! Bring her on over – let’s have a play date! 😉

Can this be my room? I love the colors and those bright flower pillows are screaming at my inner 80’s kid. Love it!
Thanks, girl!! The flower pillows are so fun!!
Hi 👋🏼 can I come play here?! It’s perfect! You need to fully stock with Little Adventures dress up clothes! That mirror is the best accessory!
