Designer and contractor Chip Wade takes on the challenge of building a pint-sized village-themed girls' room and play space in this episode of Elbow Room season 1. The client, a mother of two young girls, wants a unique and functional space for her daughters to play and sleep in while reflecting their love for all things small and cute.
As Chip gets to work, he first focuses on creating the village feel with details such as a custom-painted mural of a small town scene on the walls and adding a mini wooden playground complete with slide and swings. From there, he builds custom bunk beds that resemble tiny houses, complete with windows and even a working door. The beds have built-in storage compartments and small wall-mounted bookshelves, maximizing storage and organization in the small space.
To add even more personality to the room, Chip adds whimsical touches such as a giant mushroom pouf and a treehouse themed homework nook. The treehouse look is achieved by suspending a small platform from the ceiling with rope, giving the girls a fun and unique spot to do their homework or read. Additionally, Chip adds a climbing net that leads up to the suspended platform, providing an added element of adventure and play.
Finally, Chip adds the finishing touches with decorative elements such as colorful throw pillows, fun lighting fixtures, and custom artwork. The end result is a playful and functional space that is tailored to the client's specific tastes and needs. The girls' can now enjoy a dream-like village of their own, complete with a cozy sleeping area and plenty of opportunities for imaginative play.
