Before: Christina is a lucky six-year-old girl who has this basement playroom to herself. She loves to read, play school and dress up with her friends and she's a budding artist. She has all the toys that go along with these activities but needs a better way to take advantage of the space.

After: Defining the space into various play zones makes it work even harder. Soft yellow walls with stamped butterflies, a sofa table for a teacher's desk, four smaller desks that can be combined to make one large work surface and new lighting will inspire hours of creative fun.
Hosts Matt Fox and Shari Hiller redecorate the basement playroom for a six-year-old girl. Design ideas include creating areas for playing school, using her computer and even playing dress up! A large artwork display, inspiration from Mother Nature and storage transform this room into the perfect playroom for any child.
