Playroom inspiration for little girls. Seating can be so hard to pick out! Check out these designs that are functional, durable and perfeclty girly!

We are currently getting the opportunity to basically re-do the entire interior of our home.  We had a tree fall into our home during Hurricane Irma and cause A LOT of damage.

(More on what we’ve been learning from that disaster here)

Now, as excited as I am to make some changes to our home, I also have a serious amount of anxiety about it.  It seems like a life or death situation, like if I make the wrong choice the world might stop spinning.

We’ve been furniture shopping for literally months now and STILL can’t find a sofa for our living room.  We’ve even committed twice and at the last moment found out that something with that particular sofa didn’t quite work for us.

I’m about at the point of just buying a bunch of bean bags and calling it a day!

The only other room that has really been causing me a ton of stress is the playroom.  I have never liked the girls playroom.  It was just full of an assortment of furniture that had originally had other purposes.

I really want to be able to create an intentional play space for my girls.

We spent a good part of the last year clearing out lots of things that we didn’t need, or had too many of.  Including toys.  Then with the Hurricane everything that was left pretty much had to go.

Need Help Ditching the Toys? Check out this guide!

So we are working with a clean slate.

Playroom inspiration for little girls. Seating can be so hard to pick out! Check out these designs that are functional, durable and perfeclty girly!

The hardest part about the new design has been playroom seating.  I need seating that is functional, durable and child sized.  I need various types of seating as well.  Chairs, sofa and floor seating. Plus it all needs to coordinate.  All those stipulations are exhausting!

So while I am pulling it all our playroom seating together I wanted to share some of my inspiration with you.

Inspired Playroom decor for Girls. I love these simple, metal chairs from the Pillowfort collection at Target.

Inspired Playroom decor for Girls. I don’t think you could go wrong with these fuzzy anywhere chairs from Pottery Barn kids! However my husband keeps trying to tell me that play-doh matted in the fur would not be so cute… but what does he know??
Inspired Playroom decor for Girls. Too adult? No way, right? I think these Pink Gumdrop Chairs from Land of Nod are the sweetest!

I am totally obsessed with floor pillows, these specifically because that leather handle is on point!  You can snag these at Sahara Pouffe and they ship worldwide!

Remember the bean bag comment about my living room? I’m hopefully joking about that BUT beanbag chairs are totally okay in the playroom! Theres not much from Land of Nod that I don’t love!!inspired playroom decor from ikeaIf I thought my husband would let me get away with it I would seriously push for this charming Ektorp Loveseat from Ikea in floral!  I mean how perfect for a girls playroom?  Plus, its washable!  Y’all know I LOVE washable things!Inspired playroom sofa from pottery barn teen Another really fun piece is this one from Pottery Barn Teen.  You can use it as floor seating or you can grab a base to elevate it to more of a sofa feel!  It comes in lots of colors and textures and you can configure it however you need.

Inspired Playroom decor for Girls.These colors and textures on this pouf are so beautiful!  Land of Nod kills it again!

Okay, yea, with so many choices I just CAN’T seem to narrow it down!  I have gotten a few things though, so here is a sneak peek of what you will see when it all comes together!

Inspired Playroom decor for Girls.

Okay, okay.  I know this is technically a bed but my girls fight over the one we have now.  They love to just lounge and read in it or just watch TV.  So I couldn’t leave it out!  Plus with the new covers that DockATot just introduced you could surly find something to match your décor!

Check out my FULL review on our DockATot.

Inspired Girls Playroom decor

I totally scored these from Hobby Lobby a few days ago!  They are the cutest in person and SUPER affordable!

So I know these don’t totally go with the things I have shown you above BUT I think a playroom needs to have a bit of whimsy!

  • We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day in our house but I looooove dressing my girls up in all the hearts and kisses. ⠀
.....⠀
My husband and I aren’t huge into public declarations of love or doing obligatory gifting. Never have been. We are just too practical for that.  I don’t really wear jewelry and unless it’s tulips I’m not into getting flowers at all... if they’re cut flowers in the house it’s because I picked them up on sale while grocery shopping.  Cards... well, yea we just don’t do that anymore.⠀
......⠀
Don’t get me wrong. We love to love each other, just not in the typical sense.  My husbands love language is food. Coming home after a long week on the road to a pot of boiled peanuts is like his favorite love message 😂. Me receiving a kids book that @espngreeny wrote where every purchase benefits pediatric cancer is mine. ⠀
......⠀
So yea. We don’t do valentines gifts for the kids either. We just try and show them that love is knowing another person so well that you gift them in small ways throughout the year. With time, with memories, with meaning and thought. ⠀

I blew up my stories with a few of my favorite Everleigh pics today but I’ll be doing it again for Magnolia in a few days because she is turning 3.  My big girls are two years and 5 days apart! Fun fact they both came home from the hospital on Super Bowl Sunday and @peytonmanning was playing in both ❤️⠀

Poor little Juniper had her first round of shots today. Seriously can’t believe she’s already two months old!  And yes, I gave her all the shots. All at once.  I did all the research, all over again, for the third time and I’m still pro-vaccines. ✌️⠀

  • My husband and I will be married for 11 years this year! Gah that makes me feel insanely old! In the entire 11 years as a married couple, we have never had a bedroom set... hodge podge dressers, random nightstands and Craigslist headboards.⠀
.....⠀
About a year ago we FINALLY bought an actual set that matches, a nice mattress and an adjustable base! We even have a massage function if we want it.  And our bedroom finally looks like grown ups sleep there!⠀
......⠀
But in reality I’ve only ever used the adjustable base to sleep when I was having horrible acid reflux while pregnant. The massage button only gets used when a kid presses it on accident. The mattress now had pee stains from tiny little bladders. The nightstands are full of pacis, diapers, nipple creams and batteries that have fallen out of tv remotes.  The headboard is used as a handle for the kids to hold onto while they jump on the bed and the footboard is actually just a torture device that somehow catches on my thighs at least once a week leaving me with gigantic bruises. ⠀
......⠀
Grown up life is totally different then I ever imagined it would be all those years ago. Motherhood is not near as glamorous and my life is certainly no where near put together. Even if the outside of someone’s life looks organized, perfectly matching and clean that’s hardly ever the truth 🤷‍♀️#mondaymusings⠀

  • It’s a gross rainy day. We don’t have many of these kind of days in Florida. I wish I could say it’s going to be a snuggle and chill kinda day but let’s be honest here... my kids have been up and insane since 5am. ⠀
.....⠀
My husband and I have a hard time trying to figure out where these girls got these intense, very big, very wild little personalities. A lot of days their personalities make me feel like I am failing as their mom. But this year I’m working harder to have patience, to accept that we will probably never have calm, quiet kinda days and to care a lot less about how other people think.  Because I’m not a failure as a mom. My kids personalities have nothing to do with the way I parent, or discipline.  And while the crazy and wild is exhausting at times I would never trade it for anything! ⠀
......⠀
Ps.... the littlest one hasn’t yet developed the crazy and wild so here’s to hoping I might have one calm one in the bunch 😂⠀

  • Magnolias face sums up my afternoon pretty well!  Mildly terrified and all kinds of “whaaaaat?!?” ⠀
.....⠀
My kids have been on a whole different level of crazy today. Thank goodness my husband is finally home for a few days cause this mama needs an extra set of hands!⠀
.....⠀
Our Friday evening plans include putting these wild girls to bed early and maybe getting to have an actual adult conversation 🤦‍♀️. Well see if it actually works out 😂⠀
.......⠀
Anyone else doing anything as exciting as me tonight?⠀
