I love Ikea and I am just in the process of building a daycare playroom in my basement. I would like to be able to include a mini-kitchen in Adel - White. So far I haven't got my husbands buy-in on white cabinets. He likes dark wood but Ikea doesn't have a style that fits what we like in dark. I liked some at our local hardware store but they've said it would take 8 - 10 weeks to come in. I don't really want to wait that long.

I've included an attachment of what I'd like my kitchen to look like. It doesn't show the countertops or the bar sink. The sink will be beside the fridge. Also the area on the right wall will have a desk countertop. The overall room size is 22 x 13. The kitchen will be at the end in a little nook area.

I've tried finding links to others that have done playrooms or kids spaces but couldn't find much on here. Mostly just kitchen stuff.

Welcome!

Susan and I have done some work on our kids rooms, mostly storage systems though. Our daughter's room was vastly improved with the addition of two BONDE storage systems with pullout bins to organize her clothing, and we just finished redoing our son's room by adding the SULTAN ALSARP box spring/storage unit with two storage baskets underneath in addition to the tons of space in the box spring itself. I've got a brief writeup in the Calling all serial remodelers! thread, but I can try and take some more pictures tomorrow if you like.

We haven't done a play room per se, but if it's for daycare I'd probably recommend the ARLIG white doors and full soft close options on *EVERYTHING* good insurance against pinched fingers, and the ARLIG is so inexpensive that replacing a door/drawerfront would be *highly* economical. Alternatively, you can check and see what's available in your local AS-IS room? When door styles are discontinued they get marked waaaaay down and then put out on pallets in As-Is for pennies on the dollar.

Hi there! We're from the same 'neck of the woods'. I live quite near the Coquiltlam store. So many of the members here have to drive hours to get to Ikea, but I'm so spoiled in that it is only 5 minutes away!
