We are still unpacking boxes over here but that doesn’t mean I can’t decorate. We spend a lot of time in this room. When we were looking for a house, a playroom was something I really wanted. It wasn’t a deal breaker but I thought it would be nice. Now that I have had one for a month… I am all about the playroom. It is one of the bedrooms which is also nice because it isn’t in the main living area. The boys love it and I hang out in here a lot too. This room will change in the coming years but for now, its perfect for us. It needs some love… paint the trim, curtains, stuff on the walls. I have a fun closet organization post coming soon too.
My Moms’s Mom gave me a big box of old family books a few years ago and I have been saving them for something special. We read the ones from my childhood. But there were a few from when my mom was little, so pretty and vintage but falling apart.
I wanted to display them but preserve them too so I made a bunting to go around two walls of the playroom.
I started by carefully removing the pages from the binding. Some of the pages were especially loved and I tried to include those too. 
Then I cut them all into a flag shape using my paper cutter.
Then my favorite part, I sewed them together.
I love how it turned out!
Happy boy and a happy room. How many of you have playrooms, do you find yourself spending a lot of time there? And do you have any special books that are just begging to become bunting?
what a perfect use to bring new life to those books – love it!
thanks mandy!!

So beautiful! I love the idea of using family heirlooms to decorate your new home. Great display too!
“My Toys” was a favorite of mine in the early ’60s! The illustrations are so beautiful! When my son was born 18 years ago, I found a new copy of it, made color copies of the pages, and made a laminated poster for our playroom.
what a cute idea!!
