Joyful Closet Playhouse - Reader Spotlight

This guest post if from BJ. She had a space under the stairs and wanted to create a playhouse, she didn’t have a recessed area like I did for my Closet Playhouse, and built her playhouse facade right on the wall. It- is- so- cute!

Under the Stairs Closet Playhouse

Hi, I am so excited to share my latest project with you! Before I get ahead of myself tho let me introduce myself. My name is Bj but I have been writing under the name of Joy, for two reasons, it is my middle name and Miss Precious’ (aka sweetest Grand-daughter ever!) middle name too. Hence Joy2Journey.

My idea was to make an under the stairs playhouse for Miss Precious because we live in Minnesota and I wanted her to be able to use it as much as possible and I knew the space under the stairs would be perfect as I was just storing a few things in that area.

I am not afraid to tackle “new spaces” so I took the jigsaw to my wall and started cutting! (My mom said that I always thought I could do anything. 🙂 No worries, I know my limitations, trust me!) I went from this plain wall …

to this Closet Playhouse…

I finished the inside of the Closet Playhouse two days before Christmas and here is looking in the door ….

I laid down carpeting with pad. On the walls, the top half is wall paper adhered to plywood that is sold at Menards and I did a board and batten style lower half.

I got the table from Ikea for only $20.00.

I am still learning about blogging parties and such but I am so excited to share my ideas and work. I have been so fortunate to now know of other women who have the same interests as I and I truly feel a kinship to Sandra at Sawdust and Paper Scraps. I have watched her closet project and am inspired to tackle my own! This next year I hope to complete our back yard with firepit and pergola, paint the basement, finish my closet, and many others. Would love to have you stop by and drop me a line as to what you think!

Thank you Sandra for inviting me over to share what I have been working on. Hugs, and have an amazing New Year!

“Joy”

Thanks BJ! I love that cute little French Farmhouse door and those working shutters!

And the shingles and the sign…

Seriously cool right? Who wants to join me in crashing her house for a GNO in the playhouse? Or at least a tea party!

Have a great weekend!

I agree!!! 🙂

Seriously. This is so awe inspiring. Not because I have any notion to build a cottage under my stairs, but because I too am a girl that isn’t afraid to tear out a wall or window to make my house work for me. I knew Sandra and I have that in common and now we have BJ/Joy. Let’s start a club! Lisa~
