Playroom to Bedroom

We have a bedroom on the first floor of our house that we have used as a playroom for the girls. In the past year, we also put a twin bed in there for any guests we may have. Last year, I DIYed a magnetic dry erase board on one entire wall-it was a hit with the girls as they could play school. When we decided to list, we knew we should paint over the wall, so I reluctantly did-I think it was the last project I did. Then, I decided to stage the room the way it was intended to be-a bedroom. I had already painted the room a pale shade of lavender. It is a neutral, muted shade that goes with the other rooms, so I kept it. I decided to go with gray bedding with plum accents (this will be one of our daughters' bed, bedding, and accessories for her room in our next home). We already had gray window coverings and a soft gray throw rug on the floor.
The first step was cleaning out the room and packing everything they wanted to move with is and donating the rest.
Boxes, boxes and more boxes! (all in the garage for now).




This is the magnetic dry erase wall:

Here is the staged room:
















I'm happy with it! The girls have asked for maybe two things in the boxes, so I'm guessing we may not end up moving all of them.
