The room went together surprisingly easily. I gathered together the variety of toy storage furniture we had accumulated around the house and tried a few different arrangements. It turned out that stacking the bin-style units (purchased at a craft store) on top of the drawer-style ones (Trofast from Ikea) made a very functional wall unit. We also added some shelving between for larger toys. The largest ones sit right on top, making everything within vew.
I am a lover of vintage, so the curtains and wall art are reflections of that, as well as the touches of vintage toys mixed in with the modern ones. So far, my kids love it, and I love having the toys all in one room, separate from the rest of the house!
Thanks, Corey! Well done!

Love the room, it's cozy and eclectic without trying too hard. Where did you find the little red shelves?
I love that robin's egg blue paint - what's the color / brand?
Thanks, Ella! The shelves were just cheapie unfinished shelves from a craft store (can't remember which-maybe Joann's?) that I painted red.
Thanks, Haley! I looked in our garage to see if we still have the paint can, and unfortunately, we don't... It's a little more of a minty green than blue though, and I matched it to the green bits in the curtain fabric originally.
Very sweet! Your boys are very lucky.
I've never seen so many toys outside a toy store! those boys must be so happy.
Hi Paley- you know, probably 75% of them are thrifted!! Otherwise, we'd never own that many toys- ha ha!
Where did you get the truck shelf for storing cars? I love it!
I love this room! What a fun place to play.
Hi Niko, $8 at a thrift store- one of my all-time favorite finds! I think it's homemade...
LOVE it. So cute and vintage, very nice. I enjoy the use of the old toys in this area.
Where did the curtains come from? We have red shelves that my dad built very similar to yours. I want a change in our playroom.
Hi Autumnallyear,
I actually made the curtains several years ago. The fabric is from Moda- I'm unsure of the name, but if you type Moda Nursery Rhyme fabric, several hits come up.
