a climbing wall
This New York townhouse has one awesome boys' bedroom. It started out with a child race car scheme, and was transformed into a pre-teen retreat. Space designed by Perianth Interior Design. This rock climbing wall is an easy and space saving solution for busy little ones and small spaces.
Paint plywood in a gray tone, such as 2121-20 Steen Wool by Benjamin Moore. The paint should have a pearl or semi-gloss finish for durability.
Mount the plywood on the wall (ask hardware store for proper mounting instructions). This kit by Mountain Equipment Co-op shown below is a great way to get your home wall started. It includes virtually everything except the plywood. The hold selection varies from kit to kit (no choice), but each kit includes a balanced blend of big, medium and small holds, screw-on hand and foot holds, micro bolt-on crimpers, really big roof jugs, and positive-to-grab little juglets.
How cool is the half court design painted on the floor and the mounted basketball head board?
