I do love this little space already – and cannot wait to create a lovely, quiet space just for my little ones. Here are a few pictures – and I would love any ideas you may have!
Our old creaky stairs:
The old claw foot tub:
A door with five corners:
The secret passageway doors:
And our not much to look at (yet) space:
So – what do you think? Do you have any ideas? I would love to hear from you! Leave a comment here or pop on over to Facebook (www.facebook.com/HowWeeLearn). Thank you!
I would paint it and maybe put a few shelves up or a hanging fabric “tent”, but I wouldn’t do anything too permanent. This way it can be an ever-changing special place for whatever your kids are interested in at the moment. It could be a bear den, an ice shanty or igloo, a doll hospital, a tropical island…(insert endless possibilities here). And then it will always be a special place because it will never get boring. 🙂
Fantastic!! What a great idea Terrie – thank you!
Can’t wait to see what you do with it, Sarah! A cozy reading nook would be lovely.
My son’s closet at our new (old) house is similar to this. Not like a modern closet but more like a tiny room that is begging to be transformed into a special place to play. 🙂
I love that space for a reading nook. I imagine it with sunny yellow paint with shelves of books, on top of the shelves is a 3D letter READ………with soft pillow cushions on the floors to make it comfy for the kids to read their books.
Sounds dreamy Sarah! Thanks for the ideas – much appreciated!
Secret passageways are the best, especially when you are young! The room it leads to seems a bit on the small side, but that doesn’t make it any less fun. What sort of things are you planning for this space?
It is a really neat room Phillius – and has been used for toy cars for quite some time. I would love to turn it into a cozy reading nook – but my littles are just too little for that just yet. In another year or two though. I have always loved the idea of a secret passageway, so happy my kids can play in one! And their friends think it is just the coolest too.
