Kids are messy, creative, wild, and ever-changing. And their play spaces? They need to keep up. In this DIY guide, I walk you through how to design a playroom that actually works—for your kids and for you. No more overhauling the whole room every year. No more cringing at broken furniture.

Say yes to fun, without losing your mind over the chaos
This isn’t just about furniture and floor plans—it’s about creating a home that supports how you live. Homes for real life. Always.
