Sheri here to tell you about how I turned an all-purpose room into a play room! \u00a0Some of you may remember a few months ago when I posted in the forum for suggestions on how to convert a room into a playroom (thank you for your suggestions). \u00a0I’m proud to present our new playroom. \u00a0It’s a big hit with my boys, Michael (7) and Thomas (5). \u00a0Not only do they have their own space, but there is a dedicated area for them to do their homework. \u00a0I am really happy with the results.<\/p>\n

Here are some before and after photos to show the transformation.<\/p>\n

We own a mid-century home that boasts a lot of built in features. \u00a0This room is a perfect example. \u00a0There is a built in bed, two built in closets and a set of drawers. \u00a0That makes this space awkward to decorate, so that was my \u00a0first obstacle to overcome. \u00a0We were previously using this room as a nursery, so my first step of the transformation was to remove the crib and changing table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, I was tasked with locating furniture that would fit this unique space. \u00a0A trip to Ikea proved to be fruitful. \u00a0I was able to locate a desk, lamp, computer, several accessories, a chair and a hutch that fit perfectly between the wall and the window. \u00a0 I repurposed the bins from another room, in order to consolidate the boys’ toys into one room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The built-in bed is a nice feature, but since we already have a guest room, it was good space that wasn’t being put to optimal use. \u00a0I purchased a couple \u00a0of carpets and turned it into an arts and crafts area. \u00a0I added two mirrors (one is obscured by the easel) to give the space a larger feel. \u00a0 I also \u00a0removed the curtains that previously enclosed the area in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and a couple more photos facing the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What play room would be complete without a place for homework?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, the finished product, which includes an area for the boys to watch movies or work on the computer! \u00a0The hutch hosts board games, puzzles and lots of other supplies, while the closets are perfect for larger games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me share my journey! \u00a0Happy Monday!<\/p>\n
