Christmas decor carries on into a playful, bright playroom for the kiddos.  

My style tendencies lean more towards eclectic purchasing, meaning I like to find individual pillows, blankets, and other items from various retailers, rather than finding a uniform set of items sold together.  Blending different items into a seamless room tends to give a soft, cohesive flow without feeling disjointed or forced either.  

The above pillows were found at Target (of course), complemented with Ikea bookcases, an artificial tree from Target that was green prior to us flocking it in the driveway, and books from various retailers collected over the years.  

The bean bag chair is a comfy blue chair that appears red with the addition of a festive red fleece blanket and chunky gray knitted topper.

Subtlety is a difficult process – how do you make a space feel rich and full, without overcrowding it or without leaving it empty and sterile.  The addition of a nutcracker at the top of the bookcase by a simple, festive wreath help to define the upper part of the room without overdoing the “knick-knack” style that harkens to an underwhelming yesteryear style.
