Light-filled Play and Music Room in Sydney

Carli wrote us to share her children's lovely, light-filled play/music room in Sydney: There is one room, right now, where I can walk in and say 'This room is just right'. Toys, books, crafts, a piano, and a play kitchen all find a harmonious home in a space traditionally reserved for dining which her family felt was better put to use as a play area.

My three love this space we created together off the kitchen in what is supposed to be the dining room. I like it that they are close to me when I'm cooking so I can admire their imaginative games. And that it opens to the outside is a huge bonus so we can take everything outside on fine days (we have sunny days about 99% of the time), especially good for backyard painting because all their craft stuff is kept in this room.

Those shelves! I can't believe they are IKEA. They are exactly what I've been looking for!

Really, really lovely. I'm so tempted to move my girls into one bedroom so the other can be used for crafts and play.

Just love the little wooden people you have around the globe on your shelf. Can you share a source? Thanks for sharing your beautiful space. Your little ones are lucky to have such a wonderful place to create in.
