If you love the feel of sand between your toes, build a sandbox in your home office or even in the family room.  Escape to the beach as you sit at your desk and pay bills or work at the computer.  Bury your toes in the sand as you watch beach movies.  You may want to have a towel nearby to wipe off your feet before you head out of the room, but enjoy the sensation!

Build an indoor tree house for the whole family to use.  It can be used as a cozy reading nook, a quiet napping spot, or a playroom for the kids.  Create a romantic “getaway” in the treehouse with a candlelit dinner.
