The Playroom built-in storage wall is complete. I included a nice work area that can be used as a homework center or art station. Whatever. :-)
I said I wanted to finish it in one week. Thought it would probably take three. It really took five, but who’s counting? After wasting the last 5 days shopping for baskets, trying them out, shopping some more, trying some more and returning all the ones I didn’t want…I’m finally done!
And all the ugly plastic toys that don’t fit in any bins go in here.

This is really coolio!
Wow, great job! Your Mom uploaded your link to my "Crafting Spaces" Linky Party today over at my blog: http://debsheartandhome.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/crafting-spaces-link-up/I appreciate her sharing your hard work with us! It turned out beautiful – enjoy :')
Is that contractor for hire? Those white bookcases are to die for..were they already there and you painted them or did your contractor build them too? I have a bookcase unit that we've had for probably 25 yrs. by Sauder and it's an Oak finish and I want to paint it white so bad but my husband doesn't think it will take paint because of the finish on it. Right now I'm at a lost for the right words to describe it but maybe some of you have had experience in painting the pre-fab furniture kits and can respond or give me your opinion. All our furniture is Dark cherry wood, Queen Anne Sytle and I'm getting so tired of it. I want to paint it white.
Wow! I really want to do something like this for my kids playroom! I have been looking at target, wal-mart and ikea for shelving but I have always thought that I could build something much nicer for less money. I just don't know how or where to start. Could you help me? I really think I will enjoy doing a project like this! [email protected]
I stumbled upon you and am so inspired by your talent and ambition!! Not only do you create awe-inspiring pieces, but you find the time to blog and share…you ROCK!
Keep it up!!!
OH my gosh Sandra. this is ridiculous. you are super woman! What kind of wood did you use? Is it laminate? Ugh I cant wait to have a garage/basement/workshop so I can make real furniture!!!
Thanks. It is Melamine.
DAAAAMN! No books!
Well this is the PLAYroom after all. All the books are in the Library!
What a great project. One of the all time BEST storage solutions I have seen. I love that everything is visible. Clean up would be so easy if everyone had a system like this in their office or art studio. Thanks for sharing this inspirational work. Bravo!
Wow!! You’re a superstar! I think I might do the wall unit but for a different application; dining room wall unit for china. As for the magnetic board that would work in the kitchen too…
Wow !!! Very inspiring. I’d like to do this in my garage !! What was ur approximate cost for ur project and where did u buy your wood ? Thank you
