Playroom Reveal

This is the playroom -- 
it's a fun space with old brick walls.
Originally, it was an old garage bay
where the farm truck was stored.



We recently got a new sofa in the room 
that the kids used
as their game room/media room
since we have no lower level here at the PH.

When the old boxy anvil-weighted TV 

finally had its screen turn to a 

white-out snow blizzard, we got a flat screen
for the game room.

I was not loving the black box rectangle 
against a big ivory wall 
so I decided to create an art grouping around it.

Pay no attention to the unsightly TV cords!

I had found an old pine workbench 

to sell at the antique shop, but I ended up bringing it in to use as the TV stand. 

Trying to fill the wall space around

the TV screen was a bit more challenging.

Again, I pulled from the pile of things 

purchased and tagged for the shop 

to complete the wall grouping:

- an old tattered vintage tapestry of a hunt scene

- vintage tartan lithograph images of clan 
patterns that were recently framed 

- two framed vintage Currier & Ives 
equestrian calendar prints

and

- old iron brackets

Cannot take credit for the brackets hanging 

the framed prints idea ---

saw it in our local Pottery Barn store, 

but for this space, it just seemed to work.

Hanging the tartan prints on brackets creating

a layered 3-D look works here. It transitions the space between the back of the TV 

and the items on the wall.

Was kind of fun pulling it all together.

A warm, cozy room where we have spent

much of the winter hibernating!

Have you been challenged 

trying to decorate around a

flat screen television?

Tell me about it!

Step outside the playroom and there are three old wooden hat molds
that I had mad into mirrors hanging on the wall in the back hallway.
