So as I mentioned in my last post, we moved about 2 weeks ago to a brand new to us apartment. In anxious anticipation of our move, I have spent the last several months sifting through pinterest for ideas and inspiration on how I wanted to decorate Izzy's room in our new place. I was never a big fan of his room in our old apartment so I knew I wanted to change things up and I decided that I wanted to make it more of a big boy room that would be fun for him to play in. Although this doesn't have anything to do with 'afternoon activity fun', it does have to do with Izzy so just bear with me as I share some pictures and details of his room makeover with you. The first thing I knew I wanted was a designated reading corner. We are going to pass along his old bookshelf to his little sister when she gets here so there was definitely room for something fun. After a lot of deliberation, I decided on using spice racks from Ikea. Each spice rack can hold about 5-6 books so he definitely has room if I decide to get him more books in the future (which is pretty much inevitable). In addition to the shelves, I also threw in a chair we found out by a dumpster and some wooden letters to say 'read' that I decided to paint green. Another thing I knew I wanted was some good play storage that would encourage Izzy to play with his toys. Prior to this, we had just thrown all of his toys into a big plastic bin that he would have to sift through in order to find the toy he wanted. Our new solution is much cuter in my opinion and easier for him to get to the toy he wants. Izzy loves playing with magnets, so the last thing I had my heart set on was a giant magnet board with some cool new magnets. We got a giant oil drip pan from Walmart and turned it on its side. We then got some cool magnets from Amazon and bought storage pockets from Ikea to store them in. Just like that, he has a wall dedicated to magnets. A few other things we got were some new sheets and some fun printables to go over his bed. When we put it all together it looks something like this (the magnet board is behind the door so it doesn't show up in these pictures). Shopping List:
