The Playhouse – Home By Heidi

We have been working on the Toy Closet for awhile now!

I’m happy to say I have made a lot of progress on it in the last few days!

Here it is in its SAD early stages!

We decided turn our under the stairs space into a Toy Area. It was super easy to do this, we just sheet rocked over the door opening and added future detail like the window and small opening for the miniature door.

Side note: I just want to brag on my CUTE hubby for a sec.

My personal Superman did all the framing, sheetrockong and trim work in our basement.

You’re the BEST honey!

Thanks for your big sexy muslces 🙂 I couldn’t do any of this without them!!

OK…back to the task at hand!

Brett (A.K.A Handyman) did all the trim work on the toy closet. For the trim Brett used planks that he rececued from an old barn that was about to be torn down! The white trim around the window and door is just your basic MDF boards you can find at any local hardware store.
My entire house is trimmed out in flat MDF boards. You really get more bang for your buck with MDF.

Here is it Finshed!

My awesome friend and cabinet guy built the play house doors and added the cute glass window. He only charged me $60 bucks. I found the hardware on ebay

( tip..Hardware on ebay is Half the price than in local stores)

I also found the fun school bell on ebay as well!

(I just have one thing left to do and that is to add a “School” sign right above the double doors!!)

Here is a pic of the inside of the Toy Closet. Brett built the shelves. The material his used was MDF pre-painted shelving with a beveled edge
(YAY!! no painting, well worth the extra money)

And L brackets for the hooks.

Again…All found at your local hardware store.

We’re most likely going to put baseboards on the interior for the “finishing touch.”

And here we are from the inside! (I’m I sounding like a tour guide?? haha)

And here is how the closet REALLY looks on any typical day!! (I blame myself…I have been super busy this past year with other life pursuits and I have neglected this sad little toy closet!

I finally got my groove on, and this past weekend it was GO time!!

Here is the mess I was in for 3 days…Ahhhhh! Why are toys so UGLY??

Stay tuned because tomorrow I am going to show you a sneak peek on what I have cooking in my brain for this little space!!

Let’s just say “Pottery Barn Kids Inspired” 🙂
