Baby Jack’s Playroom Reveal

We absolutely love when previous clients come back to us for more projects, we nicknamed them “boomerang clients“. It’s so heartwarming to watch their home and family both grow together.

Mike and Elise first reached out to us a couple years back for a first-floor renovation of which we documented in Season 3 Episode 2 of our series, Renovation Rekindle. By the time we wrapped up, baby Jack made his very first appearance into the world!

Fast forward to 2024, and baby Jack, who is now a toddler who is now a toddler, got promoted to big brother Jack! Their growing family realized they needed just a bit more space on the main level. That’s where we came in.

Screened-in porch: Before

The space features concrete flooring and white siding, with clear potential for renovation into a functional year-round playroom. The adjacent French doors connect the porch to the home’s interior, offering easy access and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

The concrete floor and open layout provide ample opportunity for transformation into a functional indoor space, such as a year-round playroom. Natural light fills the room, making it ideal for a cozy family area in need of renovation.

The porch floor is concrete, and decorative metal wall art is displayed on the exterior wall. The space is ready for renovation, with the potential to be transformed into a cozy, year-round playroom.

Fortunately, they had a screened porch right off the dining room, which just so happened to be the perfect size to convert into a cozy, year-round playroom for the kids.

This space was perfectly positioned on the main level to allow for easy supervision, provide direct access to the backyard in the summer, and also serve as a relaxing sunroom for Mike and Elise.

While designing, we kept future possibilities in mind. To ensure the room could easily adapt as the family’s needs change, we installed solid double pocket doors and built-in storage that seamlessly matches the rest of the first-floor design. This way, the space can effortlessly transition into a flexible room—whether it’s a home office, guest room, or cozy lounge—once the kids outgrow it.

Playroom and Sunroom: After

The space includes a comfortable blue sectional sofa and a window offering views of the backyard. Exposed brick accents add warmth and character, while the modern design seamlessly integrates with the rest of the home’s first-floor layout. This family-friendly renovation creates a functional and stylish play area for kids.
