Play rooms and family room

These are the last of the "showing you around my home" posts for today. Tomorrow I'll take you through the kitchen and backyard. We didn't intentionally set out to have two "play rooms". The kids toys just sort of started migrating all over the house! They don't really spend much time in either of them anymore, but we're not quite sure what else to do with them. Our house isn't really all that big, and it's very cluttered. I'm hoping to take some decluttering inspiration away from the blogs I'm currently reading. Unfortunately, we all seem to have a problem with hoarding! Play room #1:

You'll notice our carpet is HIDEOUS. It's cheap and nasty stuff, and stains SO easily. The kids have pretty much trashed it. The next home project when we have a bit of spare cash is to tile the whole house. I seriously cannot wait! Though we can't agree on tile colours either, haha! Play room #2:

Family room. Yes, that's a very bright wall! I love it though. It needs a couple more coats and then it'll darken up a bit:

New furniture of that room is on the list too. That's all for today. I'll take you through the kitchen and backyard tomorrow!

My bedroom...

...is a bit of a man cave unfortunately! Brendan lived here for four years prior to me moving in, and was pretty set in his ways! I buy new linen for our bed every now and then to try and girly it up a bit! The built in desk he made himself from an old broken bed of Ruby's! Please excuse the mess on it! It's not mine, I swear!

As you can see, the walls are still just plaster! We can't agree on what colour to paint it. As you will see as I show you through my home, I'm definitely not a sterile "bland, boring and neutral!" type of girl. I like colour and lots of it! I would go absolutely crazy living in a house with white walls. Not to mention I'd stress about all the kids grubby finger marks!
