It's not the playroom, which is one floor down. That room is never clean enough for me to photograph, so you'll only see a sneak peak from the post with all the paint colors in the entire house.
This is the space that is open to the kitchen. It houses our art table with an art supply carousel and where we make projects like button letters before school.
This is our son's play kitchen with the impartial time-teller (aka a clock) above it.
Originally the play kitchen was a gift from our son to our daughter when he was born. As I mentioned when I talked about how to welcome a new baby into the family, it's important for the ne baby to get a gift for the older sibling. In our case, our daughter used the play kitchen sporadically, and it's our son who loves it! Good thing I can see it from the kitchen.
The proximity to the kitchen also means he can pull up a stool for a snack while I'm cooking.
The play area is through a set of doors from the library which has toys on the bottom two shelves.
If I'm sitting at my table, I can even see kids playing or a baby on a Gymini Activity Gym through the doors.
For another reminder of how this ties in with the rest of the house, you can pop over to Crafty, Scrappy, Happy where I'm guest posting today.

I love how open this space is...so nice for a mom to keep track of the little ones. And, I adore the way that you have the art work displayed. Your kids are very lucky to have such a great mom! Have a great weekend!

What a great playroom and it is so nice that it is close to you. I need one in my house!
What a fun space, and convenient for you! Love it.
That is so convenient and perfect! My son is HUGE into the play kitchens around here too. So sweet!
I love your playroom, Jessica! The way you hung your kids' artwork is so cute. I recently bought a ball of twine to string from 2 eyehooks so that I could clip up my daughter's masterpieces in her room on it. Haven't done that yet. :) You have inspired me to get that done among other things!

It looks like a great place for your children to play. I have hung my children's art up the same way you have done. They love that it is displayed and admired.
I love how it's right off the kitchen and the office ... perfect for you to keep on eye on them while reading us!
