Play Closet


The term play closet may sound strange to many people especially when they hear bits and pieces of a conversation with my kids. An example “Mom can I go play in the closet.” Yes, it sounds a bit bizarre however I have found that the smaller the space the better for children. Brinley could hangout with Grandpa under a table with a blanket over it forever.


Plus as much as we love our home it is starting to feel a little small already and with no end in sight we have to make every nook count.

We have had a vision of a fun filled, organized, colorful, educational, ext. you know a dream space since we moved in. With the help of my parents, my grandpa’s company, my uncle Doug and Justin here is our attempt (its nice to know people.) I shouldn't forget IKEA without you I would have had to work a lot harder to create. THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!

LOVEN IT!!!


We still have a few finishing touches I will post later.

I am having a hard time deciding what to do with the door. We bought a solid wood door to make a homemade Dutch Door and now I can't decide what color to paint it. Blue, black and white checkers, yellow? The possibilities are endless, I will sleep on it for a few more days.
