Gearhead Mom

I am a toy gearhead. I am a mom. Therefore, I am Gearhead Mom. I review the good, the bad and the (often) ugly in the world of baby and childhood gear.

S and G’s Play Nook

Posted by Missy W. @ 12:58 PM

I’m thinking about sending some pictures of Sy and G’s play nook over to the color contest at Ohdeedoh. This room used to be G’s nursery (it’s the official dressing room off of our room), but now that the kiddos share a room, we just moved the Ikea shelving unit in there and it’s a sweet little play nook. We still have G’s dresser/changing table in there, too. It’s one of my favorite places to be. So cheery!

Where did you get the rug? C&G’s new playroom is v. blah and needs color. I also love the way that you used the umbrellas!

Shauna, the rug is from Ikea. I saw it there a few weeks ago, so I know they still carry it. We’ve had it for five years and it still looks brand new. It’s a nice wool rug, too. Only one coffee stain (that’d be my bad; Baby G’s trying to cut down).
