I am thrilled to review this project. I had so much fun with this playroom. The customer wanted to use this unique space in her basement for something special. When she approached me with the idea of a built-in playroom, I was very excited. She sent me some ideas and we discussed dimensions for a while until we had a game plan. Even with all that planning, we ended up making a huge change halfway through. But I’m glad we did. Let’s jump in.
The Plan
This playroom needed to fill an open space but it wasn’t a large space for the amount of features that needed to be incorporated. Check out all these special features.
- Foam pit
- Rock wall
- Swing
- Two levels
- Lower level – dedicated entrance (no door), tunnel, access from foam pit, opens up in back corner for added space, and an additional opening to ball pit
- Upper level – Accessed from ladder, ladder in the ball pit, ramp to platform, and a slide from platform into foam pit
- Mountains painted on rock wall
I honestly do not remember how long this project took but I can say that every single piece of it was custom made. Including the slide. I have broken down this project into the first level, second level, the change, paint, and features.
The Build
It was time to paint the rock wall, build the railing, ladder, slide, and roof. The ladder was actually an interesting story. The slide I had ordered was not going to make it in time. But we had already decided on the size and design. So I whipped up onsite because it had to be installed that same day. Truth be told, I like mine better than the one I ordered.
The Result
I could not be happier with how it turned out. The customer added a little table, rug, and the vined wall converting this whole space into an dream playroom for one lucky little girl. She sent me a few videos of her playing in it later on. It was so rewarding to see her enjoying it so much.
