Is that tall round-looking structure that you can see on the left of the picture of the housekeeping area from Ikea? It looks awesome...Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

No, that is from discount school supply. It is a dress-up turn about, but I have to say that it really doesn't turn very well. I used to have all the dress up clothing and accessories in the wardrobe where I now store sensory items, but this is so much better. Not only does it have a mirror, but it has hooks for the clothes and lots of bins for the accessories. The kids can easily reach everything and the hooks make for easy clean up (instead of fussing with hangers).
The main downsides that I see so far are that it doesn't turn very well and my 18 month old dd tries climbing up where the shoes are stored.Comment

I was going to ask about the furniture and play equipment as well. They all look fairly new and modern. Did you buy all these items yourself? Were you able to get grants?
I hope that is not too nosey. I just think your space is beautiful and very on point with what many parents are looking for. You did a great job. I wish I could be able to do something nice like the couch, kitchen, etc. Its taken me 6 years to piece together what we do have. Feel free to post more particulars about your space!Comment

I don't mind at all
. All of the storage units, preschool table, 4 of the chairs, play kitchen and toys were already purchased before I started daycare. Starting up daycare was something I wanted to do before my first was born, but I didn't end up doing it until after our second child was born (due to inadequate time and "life"). Therefore, I used that time that I continued to work to save up for all of that stuff.
As for the newer "stuff," I used a combination of tax return, garage sale revenue, and extra income. The main purchases were the locker system (DSS), the dress up carousel (DSS), the couch (Wayfair), and the new slide (Craigslist). I also got a chair for myself (Ikea), wooden workbench (Ikea), wall decal tree (Etsy), 2 more children's chairs (Ikea), frames and "bookshelf" (Ikea), wooden carts x 2 (Ikea), Plasmacar imitations for half price (Amazon), leaf decoration (Ikea), castle (Amazon), and dry erase and chalboard (Amazon). The remodel totaled nearly $2000
. My initial budget was for $1000, so my dh was not entirely pleased.
However, this is my life, my work, and my passion. I do it first and foremost for my 2 children, aged 3 and 18 months to enrich their lives. I don't really spend money on anything else and my husband takes great joy in seeing our kids faces light up. Yeah, they're a little spoiled
