Remodeling kids playroom- step by step.

Inspired by Pinterest, here's what I plan to do with the window. This will be our science lab. I'll have test tubes and equipment stored along the window sill

My Space

When you walk in, you're on the stage. I'll use a curved shower rod to create a curtain around the door. This will be our theater. Directly across will be the vetrenarian clinic-equiped with small cages on the wall

Finished patching all the holes, adding texture and paint.  Now starting the fun part- setting up the room.  Here's our new science lab.  I plan to build a small shelf that suspends across the window.  I'll drill holes in it that are wide enough to hold the test tubes.  

I plan to use this Pinterest Inspired concept to decorate the window. I'll pick up clear plastic Christmas ornaments (on sale of course) and paint them in clear iridescent colors to give this bubble illusion.

I had to change out the table I built for this Ikea Expedit shelf. I have an earlier post explaining how I hacked the one side to make the table top. It's our Science Lab Table. It looks so much cleaner and holds up to the messes really well.

I converted our x-ray viewing box into a light table. The great thing about using the ikea frames is how easily you can mix the units. They all stack nicely. And they look good. Most important, they hold up really well to kid play.

I like to set the stage with their play. I found these really fun stretchy people at a yard sale for $1. I have them interacting with the kitchen today. They're usually doing zany things all around the playroom. A similar theme to elf on shelf.
