So because of recent events we have been rearranging/child proofing even more. We are now left with this space in our living room. I would like to turn it into a place for our lo to play. The walls are painted over a textured stucco. I don't know if any wall decals would stick? I though it would be fun to see what the bees would do. Please post your ideas and don't forget to add pictures or links to help me visualize!
I'm super excited!!!!!

@MamaPhoenix: what about hanging a magnetic bulletin board or a chalkbord (in a cute frame)? Down at kid level for them to play on?

I would add low book shelves and some comfy seating like bean bags
We have venetian plaster and was told vinyl would not stick but it did

What does the door lead to?
How old is your LO?
I would put an easel chalkboard, play kitchen, and toy chest or box. Above your LO' s reach I would remove the family photos. Either use your child's art or fun kid friendly art/ posters.

Do you need storage at all? If so, I like Ikea Trofast over the Expedit/Kallam. Trofast has bins that you can slide in and out, rather than just open storage.
I'd do an art area, maybe with an easel and a kid sized table and chairs?

@cmomma17: That was an idea we had but I think she might be too young still.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: She's almost 11 months right now. she stands and walks holding onto furniture.
The door leads to my bedroom. I love the idea of a kitchen, but is it too soon to get her one?
@Mamaof2: We have been mulling over getting a mini arm chair for her to sit and read when she gets bigger. Something modern looking that would match the rest of the living room.@looch: we always need storage, our house is 900sqf total!! Those are very cute, do they take up much space? We actually have been offered kids size table and chairs from my brother in-law. I might be able to work those in.

I would put a little table and chairs with some shelves for book/toy/art storage.

I would do some ikea expedit type bookcases along the big wall for book and toy storage, and then either a mini chair or brightly colored floor pillows on the other wall.
Or I would fill the corner with a mini tipi, here's the one in our nursery. I think it's so cute!

thank you bee's. These Ideas are great. Reading is a huge thing for me. I really want to incorporate that into lo's life as much as possible.

@MamaPhoenix: I thought this might help. We do not have a play room at home so Norah's toys are all condensed in an area in our family/living room which kind of reminds me of your space. To the left of the photo, that you can't see because of the angle, is a book shelf with some of her books and her arm chair which is like the one you mentioned. She is a little older then your little one but it might help with ideas if you like it
