Playroom Ideas

A couple days ago I posted about the Pinterest Challenge I decided to link up to. I listed a couple of ideas I was wanting to try this week. Well... I got started. Kind of.

So, two of my three ideas were for the play room -- future play room. I thought they would be awesome decorations for a fun and whimsy sort of place. However -- you need to know the colors you want to focus on first. Yes. I'm a matchy-matchy sort of girl.

I have tossed around ideas about what I want the room to look like. I was leaning towards a sort of Tiffany blue.via

But I wasn't completely sold. So Lil and I visited a local fabric store for some color inspiration. These are a few of my favorites:
These first three are a set. I thought it would allow for multiple fabrics to be used. The con: darker colors.
Although similar, these two are different fabrics. I liked the striped feature and the color. I thought it would allow for more sophistication as the kids grew older. However, I want it to be fun since it will be a while until they need sophistication.
These are the two we decided on. I like it because it incorporates my blue. The spotted one would be the curtains. Then a combination of the two would be the seat cushions, pillows, bean bags, etc. I would probably try to find some solid colored fabrics to match the dots.

For the paint, I thought matching the background blue would be too much. So I think I'm going to match the lighter blue dot (see that bright red one near the center? there is a light blue dot to the right and up a bit -- bad picture, I know).
