Do not give up hope on old built-ins because removal is not always the answer. The homeowner of this vintage home decided to refinish a special feature the home already possessed to create a play nook for her child’s toys. The unique cubbies house books, blocks, stuffed animals, and baskets filled with goodies. You can elevate the wall space above a bench cubby like this with a map of the United States like the one here, or a world map if you’re looking for something that represents a grander view.
