What interesting and fun renovations can we make to our apartment?



dyn-funky-2444_9161.jpgNot everyone is interested in what they can do to make their home a playground. For some though, it's a must.  If you've ever thought that careening down your stairs on a slide would be a blast, read on.

I've seen a set of stairs turned into a slide, and although it's fun, getting back up those stairs isn't the easiest. You've essentially taken out your ability to walk back up unless you only put a slide down half the stairs.  Why not consider a fire pole instead? You can install it from the ceiling to the floor, and people on the loft level can just jump on it and slide down.

If it's your name on the mortgage of the loft, you can cut a hole in the floor and put a slide down there. I've seen this done in playrooms when people have large homes and a lot of kids. One trip down the slide got them from the bedroom to the playroom, and to say they loved it would be an understatement.

If you don't want to cut holes in floors or install a huge pole in your home, you could create a lounge/bar in your 2nd floor loft. Add a huge, white sectional sofa, a disco ball, and a bar with glass shelves. Protect your floor from spills of all types with a large area rug. Something like this Dark Brown Shag Rug would hide spills and still provide you with a funky cover for your floor. Add a disco ball, a rocking sound system, and a rope swing in the corner. You will have yourself a hot bar that you don't have to drive to get to.  The best part? You don't need to take a taxi home either.
