That very same day my son informed me that he wanted to be "roommates" with his little brother. This was a serendipitous event that I had to take advantage of. After contemplating the idea for a few minutes I began hatching a plan... his bedroom could be converted into a playroom and all of the toys could be banished from the family room - Perfect timing for Seaside Chinoiserie Chic lift!
In the family room, most of the toys are concealed in the lower cabinets of the built-ins, but the larger toys are eating up floor space. Since our house does not have a basement or attic having a room dedicated just to the kids will be a Godsend!

And now, the prettiest playroom I have ever seen. These images are scanned from my copy of Mary McDonald: Interiors: The Allure of Style.
Mary McDonald, can you invite me over for a play date?
Whoever has this as their playroom might be the luckiest little girl in the world!
If this were a room in my house the kids would be locked out and you would find me sipping champagne while playing dress up.
Do your kids have a dedicated playroom? What ideas have you incorporated in that space that work well? While I spent most of yesterday organize the playroom, I am all ears...
Cheers!

I just stumbled on your blog and am so happy I did! That Mary McDonald playroom is the most fabulous playroom I've ever seen!! Thank you so much for sharing it. I have a playroom in my house that doubles as a family room. It has low walls and a steeply sloped ceiling. I think something like this design would be the perfect solution.
