Kids playroom with large benchtop

Kids playroom with storage, Bunnings bench top, and a bookshelf. Also made two cute little kids chairs to go with it. 

Materials

Bunnings table top x 2

Hard wax oil 

Screws

Dowel 
Brackets

Wood glue

Biscuit joiners 

Storage cubes

Kmart floating shelves

Tools

Makita drop saw

Makita impact driver

Makita power saw

Makita drill 
Orbital sander

Biscuit joiner 

Steps

Step 1

Got storage cubes and Kmart floating shelves. 

Step 2

Joined two bench tops together with glue and a biscuit joiner and some joiner plates underneath as I needed extra length. Then sanded and coated it with a hard wax oil. 

Step 3

Cut up strips of timber left from cutting one of the  bench tops down and rounded the edges then cut the ends on a 45 degree angle to make the timber house on the back wall. 

Step 4

Added dowel and curtain rod ends to the front of the floating shelves for books to stay on the shelves.

Step 5

Made the 2 little kids chairs out of vic ash timber - cut 2 big circles and 4 seat backings out. Added dowel for the legs with furniture leg brackets and sanded it all and coated with hard wax oil. 

Step 6

Added decals to the back wall

Re: Kids playroom with large benchtop

As the wall suggests, I'm sure this room is your kids' happy place @sharnpaterson.

 

The large benchtop is really smart and I'm sure is often filled with activity and wonderful creations.

 

Many thanks for sharing.
