If you are curious where any of the products in this space came from, I’ve link most within the text of this post, or you can hop over to the playroom source list for a complete list. At the bottom of this post, you’ll also find links to detailed tutorials for the DIY projects in this space.
But for now, just enjoy the pictures…

MUSIC & ART GALLERY WALL
We also wanted this gallery wall to be a place where the kids could display their own art work. Four frames are filled with colorful sheet music from different Beatles songs, each with a clip to hold our boys’ masterpieces.
They even have a cute, red toy accordion that I hung from one of the rails.
To help fill the wall space around the book racks, I added two black and white photos taken by their uncle – one of piano keys, the other guitar strings.
MAGNETIC WALL & PING PONG WALL COASTER
When they are done creating their mazes, all the parts and pieces can easily be stored right on the wall.
DIY SHEET MUSIC FEATURE WALL
I created a series of music lyric posters that I added on top of the sheet music using thin, colored washi tape.
The “STUDIO” marquee letters add yet another element of mood lighting in the space. The photo below also gives you a good view of the new light fixture that we installed on the wall.

What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and fun. The six weeks went by so fast. I completed our entry, living and dining areas in a new to us 30 year old house. So, cheers to us! Have a wonderful weekend.

Whoa–what a fun space!! I love the coaster wall :). We have that same First Act guitar (well, except ours is green)…my now almost 12 year old got it for his 3rd birthday, and it's still hanging in there (although it needs a few new strings at the moment, after my 2 year old's enthusiastic playing).

Lesley Metcalfe says
This has to be one of my favourite rooms in this round of the ORC. It's so creative. Turning this narrow storage space into a play space was a genius idea. You and your husband are the coolest parents ever! I would love to have had a room like this growing up. …Who am I kidding, I would love to have a room like this as an adult! 🙂
Kendra Joy says

My brother did a variation a number of years ago. H had a coat closet at the "end" that he needed to keep but cut a door large enough for him to get his sons in an emergency. One of his son would spontaneously stop breathing. For the boys it was a kitchen cabinet size door off the kitchen. This also gave them a quick place to stash extra toys when people dropped in. No loss of closet and they still got the play room.
Jennifer Steere says
This is AWESOME. Love the silver hand holding the guitar, the records on the ceiling, the rope lights, the rug, the ping pong roller coaster – just everything! It's amazing how much you were able to fit into such a small space. Ironically, "I Love Rock 'N Roll" came on the radio as I was reading through the post! ;-D
Nat-Anne says
OMG THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL… your attention to detail is simply out of this world !!!! I stared at each picture for a good 5 minutes to take it all in before moving on… I have a stack of records (33 & 45) and an awful living room ceiling I’ve been staring at for years, always wanted to find a way to create something wild… also recently got back all my music books from 48 years back which I wish to frame. You have given me all the inspiration I needed, I can’t thank you enough !!! Stay safe and stay healthy and above all, stay creative ! I’m sure your boys have already spent many great moments in their special space…. 🙂
