Playroom Deconstructed

“Give the people what they want”, that’s what they say 🙂 and it’s very clear that what a lot of you want is the deets on my playroom. So, I’m going to deliver!

A little background is in order.

When we moved to Bozeman in 2007, it was straight into our current home. We had no children back then and it’s been so much fun (and quite the experience) to constantly upgrade and reevaluate our needs. 14 years and 5 kids later thank G-d this house looks vastly different from when we bought it.

2 years ago, we did some significant construction. Part of what we did was combine two small bedrooms into one large space which is now a playroom. I dreamt about this playroom for ten years, my kids and their friends from our Shul really needed it. I had plenty of time to think about what I wanted, what was important to me, and to be very intentional about how to put it together.

I wanted to have zones (or corners) in the playroom, reading corner, art corner, creative play zone… so with that in mind, I started to look at furniture and figure out what kind of organizational system would work for us. I needed this space to be functional, sustainable and easily kept up.

This has been a long time in the making, it’s not always so practical to create your dream space right away. The hope I have for this post is that maybe one piece of furniture or one organizational idea might be helpful to you, which you can then integrate into your home, befitting your personal needs and abilities.

So here we go, pictures and links (of what I could still find)
