The Playroom

When we bought our house the "shed" became the catch all for everything. Sports equipment, bikes, gardening stuff, anything that we didn't have a place for. I had grand visions for this space however and when we found out we were pregnant (a month after we moved in) I knew that someday it would become a playroom. Every time I mentioned it people would look at me incredibly strange. The floors were plywood, the walls had not been completed, it wasn't exactly a "safe" space. However after some TLC, some paint and carpet, some amazing storage shelves (I made the cushions myself) it is looking better and better. We would love to hook up the electricity some day but for now it is a perfectly good play room for our little guy during the day and I totally picture it being a place where the boys will spend hours playing and imagining. There is also the huge perk that because we have a place for all the toys our house stays relatively free from all the toy clutter.

It's hard to tell from the pic but these cabinets took up most of the back wall.
The cabinets were removed (to reveal no drywall!) so here it is before with the walls all patched up. No carpet yet just plywood floors.
Almost there!
The (mostly) finished product!
