    Because Of This Forum

    I got the idea to convert my under the stairs closet into a play space. It is now the home living/ dramatic play center!happyface Added bonus: it added some square footage to my space, which is good considering licensing is coming Tuesday to measure and make sure I have enough room for a large family home license! (adds 5 kids to my current license) happyface Got my fingers crossed!

            I want to see pictures too! I've been looking for something to do with my under the stairs closet. I figured just storage since it's so small, but making another play center out of it would be so neat!

                  Ok, I'll post some pictures, but it's nothing special (not like the awesome ones you see on pinterest). I just did it so I will be adding/improving as I go along.

                      Table top/ shelf. There is a basket of play phones, keys, garage door openers, etc. under there.

                        Btw

                        Got the idea from this thread
                        I tried doing a search for this, but didn't come up with anything. What do you all do with that closet under your staircase? There's just a little closet, but with so many creative people on here, I know I could find a better use for it than just a jumbled up mess of toys or whatever needs to be out of the children's sight for

                          Sooooo....

                          What do you guys think? I know it's plain. I plan to add some more decals or something to the walls to make it prettier. Also, I'm working on the lighting. There is none in there so I put two of those battery operated light bulbs on the walls and they work but EAT batteries ( I have rechargable ones, but still...). Short of calling in an electrician (which DH wants me to do) anybody got any clever ideas to get me by for awhile?
