I found it out on the curb a couple houses down from ours. I wasn't sure what to do with it at first. Then I had an idea. How about a dress up mirror? Oh, and while we are doing that, we might as well redo the whole playroom, right?!! And that's what we did. Here are our before and afters.
PLAYROOM BEFORE
PLAYROOM AFTER
We hung a tension shower curtain rod and some curtains to create a fun entrance (I think this might be my daughter's favorite part!)
The dress up mirror has some vinyl words on it, as well as rope lights and a feather boa. We hung hooks on both sides of the mirror to hang costumes up.
Here's the cute little table and chairs where they can "create"
The "magnet board" is just a piece of sheet metal screwed into the wall. The magnets are small toys of my kiddos that I hot glued a magnet to the back of (we seem to have tons of these random small toys around).
Oh, and a mirror ball just for fun (or if I want to have a late night dance party :)
We did almost all of it on Christmas Eve night, after the kids were in bed. We left it as one last surprise after we ate breakfast and they LOVED IT!!! Oh, and Santa brought lots of fun dress-up costumes too!

so fun!!!
What a fun Christmas Gift! The room is so cute!
That is one adorable room! And I can't believe you did it all in practically one night! The night before Christmas no less!
What a fun play room! I love the words you chose to go with each area.
I love all the vinyl words on the wall!
I love it!! I bet the kids do too - I've been working on a playroom makeover of my own for about - um ... 8 months now :)
This is so very adorable. My kids have a wonderful dress up collection and I have been meaning to give them a mirror. This is certainly encouraging :)
Great work, mom and dad!
I love this idea! I know it's an old one, but oh-so-smart. The curtains are a stroke of brilliance and the little dress up corner is wonderful. I should hang up some hooks for my kids dress ups (duh!) I think any kid would love a play area like that. Great job!
Aww, I bet your kids are havin' a ball!
I must say, I LOVE this!! And I have two girls that would LOVE this as well!!!
Great, great, great idea!!
I would love it if you could link this project up to my link party this week
