I decided to move the playroom

Upstairs. At first the playroom was going to be upstairs but then I decided to just let it be downstairs, because Cali is incredibly attached to me and likes to be in the same room as me, even if it's the bathroom. For 6 weeks I just let her rule the downstairs but the house always looked messy because Cali's toys were everywhere, so I moved all her toys upstairs.
I went to target on Wednesday to check their clearance items. I had been eyeing this bookshelf for the last month, it was on clearance for $83 dollars (regularly $119). And I wasn't about to pay that much for it when we could get something similar from Ikea for a lot less. And I'm guessing everyone else thought the same way since no one bought it. So when I went on Wednesday it was marked down to $29 and I snatched it up.

It was really heavy and getting it upstairs by myself was not fun, but I've been hitting the gym so I was able to get it upstairs on my own. After putting it together I'm glad I only paid $29 for it because it's made like it's only worth that much.
I also moved the TV from our bedroom in there, I never watch TV in bed anyways. Yo Gabba Gabba is on TV, Cali's favorite and only show she watches. She also loves Beethoven (the movie). Those two are about the only things she watches.
Of course when Daddy gets home the room has to be painted so I haven't put anything on the walls.
I'm thinking about going with the Sesame Street theme because she has a lot of Sesame stuff and she LOVES Elmo.
I did put that one picture up because it was sitting on the floor and there was a nail in the wall already.

We still need to get more seating, Cali likes to snuggle when watching TV, probably a small couch.
Something like this, Ikea sofa bed for only $149

Oh and we definitely need more storage, half of her toys are still in the garage.
