One of the first major DIY projects we completed in this house was the play room for our son. We wanted to surprise him for his 2nd birthday so my husband got the tools out and away we went.
Our little guys is very active and we needed a room that would not only stimulate his mind but allow him to burn off lots of energy.
The reality is that this brain child was 99.9% my hubby. He didn't even draw up a plan- he saw it in his mind and then pulled out the tools. The board beside the slide is actually the chalk board in progress... we were just getting ready to paint it. We went with a slight military theme and although you can't tell from the pics, we have some very cool metal planes and camo mesh hanging from the ceiling.
My son was over the moon when he saw it... he was beyond excited. He enjoyed it for many many years. We did dismantle it this past summer as he is now almost 7. It was a little sad actually :(
It did however give me an opportunity to give him a new room.
My husband thinks it is too grown up for a 7 year old so we may be making a change again LOL! Apparently we need to make it a little more fun! Will post pics of the room shortly and will wait for feedback :)
this looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was loads of fun... every kid in our neighborhood would come over to play. It is not a big space so it was crazy when there were 4 or 5 kids in there!
