Convert Your Basement Into a Functional Environment

After: The new, larger L-shaped unit serves as a divider between the entertainment and play areas and houses clear, labeled baskets for all those toys. The newly designed space is an overwhelming success. Not only is there plenty of storage for all the toys, books and videos, but it also functions as a parent's paradise with plenty of room to read, exercise and relax. The castle play loft makes this room a favorite for the kids, too.
