After a long day of play in their newly renovated activity room that’s adjacent to this space, the family (including quintuplets) can grab a snack, watch a movie, and just hang out in their new media room. Its custom design meets all of their needs and includes a fully stocked hospitality area, a built-in entertainment center, and plenty of floor space for lounging.

 


HospitalityA built-in snack center allows Mom to keep an eye on the children while whipping up a quick treat. She can pop popcorn in the microwave for a movie night, and store enough drinks for the whole gang in a small refrigerator.


 


BacksplashColorful details, such as the pendant light with a blue shade and multicolored tile backsplash, give the space a casual, cheerful touch.


 


FaucetA single lever faucet is easy to turn on and off, and the pullout spray is great for quick cleanup.


 


Grab barA grab bar, mounted on the outside of the base cabinet, creates a handy storage spot for dish towels and frees valuable space in the cabinetry.


 


Media centerThe design associates in the Lowe’s kitchen cabinetry department created a custom entertainment center by mixing base cabinets with open shelving and beaded-board panels. The finished result is a timeless piece that offers plenty of storage for books, video games and movies.


 


StorageA blank wall near the hospitality center provides a perfect place for freestanding storage. The nine-cube organizer is paired with bright bins that can hold everything from action figures to small musical instruments.
