But a cube by itself was not enough to tidy up of course. A few pull out boxes helped contain the big bits and then some expedit drawers were installed to become a pretend oven, or 'doddy's' bed, or anything else that Little Imp thinks up.
The plain white expedit drawers looked boring though. Not exciting enough for a play corner. A little inspiration from a website I stumbled across recently Ikea Hackers reminded me that even new things can be changed and embellished....
So a bit of bright fabric and some bright red painted knobs later this is the result:
Little Imp is happy with her new play space, and I'm happy with the fact things have a place to be put away! Now to find the right reading lamp to sit atop the expedit. Mmmm, ideas.
P.S. Note the nice new chair peeking in there on the left of these pics? It's the one that has replaced the wingback chair that I finished recovering yesterday!! - just waiting for daylight to take some photos to upload.
