I know its been a while since we did a project so here it goes......
The playroom has been shown before, its right off the front door, and I think its intended purpose is a formal sitting room.... pffftttttt "formal" with 2 boys ages 2 & 4, umm noooooo, so ours is a playroom...
It has 2 shelving units I picked up for a steal on craigslist, they were listed as Daycare cubbies and OMG these things are massive!!! Did I mention they were only $25 each!!! score
Its nice though because the toys can get off the floor, and are easily displayed.
More often than not it ends up like this!!!
We had a couch in here which we placed in front the window on the other side which made a huge block. Not to mention it wasn't used very often.
We knew we wanted some kind of shelving built. I had a handyman provide a estimate which turned out to be HUNDREDS!!! Then I went to good old pinterest, typed in "window bench seat" and taaa daaaaaa Ikeas EXPEDIT shelf seemed to be the solution

Plus it is only $59!!!!
Super easy to assemble.
The height is perfect for little Bro. Most of his toys have now found their way here. I planned on making a fabric covered cushion for the top but the hard surface actually works better for him to play on.
Love the way the playroom turned out, more storage, affordable price, and attractive, quality piece.
Thanks IKEA!
