This pallet play structure was built in a kids' bookstore in Lille, France. It has multiple areas for lounging, play, and stashing books and toys. More

I don't know why, but as much as I love my kids being creative, I can't stand that typical easel we all seem to have. It's always in the way! But no problem — a wall easel is a great solution, and you can make it yourself with some ease. More

Cybele and her husband transformed their very old, gross garden shed into a playhouse that their daughter uses every day. The inside is about 8' x 10', and the exterior wrap-around porch adds even more room for tea parties during warmer months. I mean, how many kids have their own wrap-around porch? The answer is not many.

This townhouse only had two bedrooms, and desperately needed a dedicated workspace and playspace. Angie was struck with inspiration when she thought about all the unused space in their 2-story foyer -- why not build a loft?

Name: Kyler (11 months)
Location: Orlando, Florida

We wanted to create a space Kyler could grow into that was bright, fun, and educational (keeping our budget in mind too)! I am not the craftiest person out there necessarily, however, thanks to Pinterest, Google, my hubby and my dad, I was able to find instructions for most of the things I wanted to do. More

Pegboard is one of those materials that just seems to have endless uses — but I always envision it storing tools, craft supplies, desk items, and just being, well… useful. I never thought of using it as an art canvas — until now! Come see this super creative pegboard art installation that would be perfect for a kid's room or playroom. More

This sensory busy board is part of a playroom made for an almost toddler that was put together on a budget. It looks beautiful and is a great lesson in re-purposing everyday items for play. More

Julie's basement needed some work to become a cozier spot for her kids to play and she also wanted it to be a relaxing, attractive spot for the whole family. The new room has big changes: new floor, new ceiling and painted walls as well as furniture and storage. More

Name: Wren (4), Owen (17 months)
Location: San Diego, CA

We have a really awkward den/bedroom right off the front entryway of our home. It is a fairly small room, but it is long and narrow. When we moved in we thought that it would be a challenge to decorate, but my husband suggested that maybe it would make a good playroom for our kids. More
