I didn't even think of it when house hunting since that would have been out of our price range. I think I only knew one family that had a playroom growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1935172 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:03:08 +0000 Ree723 1935172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will, sort of, once we move into our new house TOMORROW! We'll be using the conservatory as a play room, it will also double as another dining room when we have large family gatherings, but its main purpose will be as a playroom. Cannot wait for the girls to have their own place to play! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1935167 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:01:46 +0000 fairy 1935167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, her play area is the living room. We -could- use our spare/guest bedroom as a playroom but it doesn't make sense to me to spend all that time up there instead of where everything else is, and that room is really small compared to our living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1935140 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:55:44 +0000 JerricaBenton 1935140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but there are still toys everywhere :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1935098 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:38:58 +0000 Anya 1935098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine won't, and I didn't either growing up... we just played in our bedrooms or the living room, and cleaned up after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1935086 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:34:22 +0000 mauxie 1935086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD did.. up until I got pregnant with DS and turned it into his room :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1935068 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:23:39 +0000 NurseMommy 1935068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. The house is her play room. Her toys are primarily in a small area behind the couch with a playmat and her kitchen, as well as her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934785 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:37:44 +0000 bushelandapeck 1934785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's supposed to be a sitting room I guess but we never used it until we made it into a playroom for DS. I love having all of his toys out of our LR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934756 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:28:28 +0000 erinpye 1934756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We just made them one out of my former studio, after I sold my business a couple of weeks ago! Before then, their main play space was the living room. I have to say, I love having a space that's theirs, and no toys in the living room anymore. </p> [attach=1491/14/neolzh.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934755 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:28:25 +0000 stargal 1934755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope but the lving room is really big, so most of his toys are in there but we still have more then enough room for all the adult stuff too. I like it because I can see the kids from the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934751 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:26:48 +0000 Radish 1934751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It is on the smaller side, but enough to keep her stuff in a contained area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934735 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:20:14 +0000 Adira 1934735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No dedicated playroom, but he has toys in the living room, office, and his bedroom. His bedroom is plenty big enough to double as a playroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934697 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:03:35 +0000 Smurfette 1934697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's office is right off the living room. Half of it is her playroom. Once we finish the basement, DH will move into the basement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934693 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:02:59 +0000 Andrea 1934693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, but we just lucked out. We bought our house pre-kids and didn't put much thought into the layout, but it all works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934614 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:18:37 +0000 BandDmommy 1934614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: that's what we have! Half our basement is the media room and the other half is the playroom. It works out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934562 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:52:04 +0000 Ra 1934562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We have an open floor plan. He has a play nook between the living room and kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934557 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:51:08 +0000 ShootingStar 1934557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I absolutely love our layout now. We just bought this house over the summer and they had a room off of the main living room that they called a sunroom. It has a lot of windows and a slider, but it's not really a sunroom. It is perfect as the playroom. I love that I have a safe place for him to play and a place where the giant mess of toys can live. It was torture spending time at my parents' last weekend because he wanted to crawl around and explore (including the stairs) and we kept having to reign him in and he'd get upset.</p> <p>ETA - It's hard to explain our layout. In this pic I was standing in the kitchen and you see the livingroom with an open doorway to the playroom on the right. </p> [attach=2504/14/neohmo.600x600.IMG_2923.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934554 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:49:37 +0000 photojane 1934554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but that's definitely near the top of the list when we build. Right now my living room looks like a preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934551 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:48:19 +0000 aegie 1934551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yes, its called our house. her stuff has taken over every square inch less our master bedroom and bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934530 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:43:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1934530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We have considered having the girls share a room &amp; turning DD1 s room into a toy room but DD2 won't even be here until April &amp; we are working on plans for building on eventually so we'll see what happens. I like sleeping g so nobody is sharing any sleeping space with the or sister until everyone is good at the whole sleeping thing! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934528 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:42:57 +0000 mrsjazz 1934528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Don't have the space for that. Our entire apartment is her playroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934523 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:42:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1934523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: @swurlygurl: @Ginabean3: Same! We unintentionally turned that space into their playroom since we never used it for dining anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934521 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:41:30 +0000 HLK208 1934521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They did until #3 came along lol! We might have the girls share a room in a year or so...then we can have a playroom again. We just have so many toys everywhere in the house! The kitchen, great room, loft, their bedrooms (that one is the worst...naps don't happen because of it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934518 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:40:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1934518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eventually (hopefully in the next six months) we'll have the rec room finished in the basement. It'll be play room/media room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934514 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:37:27 +0000 avivoca 1934514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I one day hope to have a living room and a family room, with our office area and the bigger toys being in the family room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934507 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:33:56 +0000 looch 1934507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a raised ranch, the playroom is on the "ground" level and the rest of the house is upstairs. The playroom contains all of my son's toys, plus a TV watching area and our desks.</p> <p>I have no problem with him being on a different level than I am, i can watch him on the Foscam anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934484 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:26:16 +0000 Bao 1934484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm so happy we have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934481 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:25:22 +0000 coopsmama 1934481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Same. We have an open floor plan which I like because it allows me to keep an eye on the kids while they are playing.</p> <p>I would really like to have a big finished basement room when we move someday, though. A multi-purpose room that could store all the toys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934479 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:23:41 +0000 autumnlove 1934479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an unfurnished family room that is our playroom for bigger toys right now. We need some furniture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-playroom-1#post-1934454 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:11:30 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1934454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, most of his playing is done in our living room and we don't have a separate family room. He also sometimes plays in his bedroom, especially with his train table. </p>
