Guest Picks: Create a Happy Office and Playroom

http://www.decor-ideas.org 08/23/2013 06:50 Decor Ideas 

I think that we all wish we could have endless amounts of space for all of our family's needs, but the reality is that sometimes we just have to share. With some clever storage, practical furniture and cute accessories, the office and the playroom can happily coexist. I've picked out these 20 great items to help create that perfect shared space that is fun and functional for both kids and adults. It's not too juvenile, so it'll also be a great space for doing homework as the kids grow.

The items in this multifunctional room allow you to maximize your space and spend some quality time together while you're at it. Plus, as a teacher to my toddler these days, I think it's nice to share. — Christine from Just Bella
