this is my new playroom :clapping:

It needs re painting but I'm really quite chuffed with how things have fitted in (although I do still have posession of the shed for the overspill :laughing: ).

I love that I can shut the door on it at night and sit in a toy free lounge :thumbsup: The kids have really taken to it as well and rarely overspill into the living room (which DH is chuffed about too as he can watch telly in peace :rolleyes: )

It's fabulous! Really great. I used to use a dining room when I lived in my other house and it was great to close the door on it at night but I don't have one here, just the lounge. I get sick of staring at toys all the time.

2 guineas, Pip and Squeak :) DH was all for putting them in the shed over winter but I took pity on them. The kids love them and they love the company and get all excited when we play in there :D

Oh, I can dream!! If only.

Think we would all like a playroom to close at the end of the day especially those with older kids who don't even need the toys for their own kids anymore. :)

Never mind the toys!!!! I would like a door I could shut on the children when I have had enough:laughing:

Your room looks fab. Mine is a work in progress (still looks like a garage) but I will get there one day

For thoase of you who dont know we just moved house, the garage has been extended at new house about 3 years ago so its huge, i will see if i can get around DP when hes better to get someone in to change it into a big playroom, Its only filled with junk at the moment, most of it from pervious owners :rolleyes:

I am green with envy, that looks fab! I just want to convert my garage to a playroom now rather than it taking all over my kitchen/dining room

a question for those who have got rid of dining rooms in favour of a playroom (as i have ) where do you now eat?

its not a problem with my family as my boys sit on a little table and chairs set and OH and i eat off our laps:blush: but what will i do when i get mindees? do you have another table in your kitchen maybe or another solution? thanks x

The dreaded SBS! It wasn't cheap but I love it :D

I just use velcro on the board monkey. Never had a problem with it.

Minstrel, my kids tend to eat with the mindees and I sit them at the small playroom table. We have moved the dining table into the lounge ( luckily its a pretty big room) and if we eat as a family we sit in there.
