Doctors recently announced his cancer was in remission and gave Slater the green light to go home.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Johnson, owner of the Closets by Design franchise, jumped at the chance to team with <a href=\"https:\/\/specialspaces.org\/\">Special Spaces<\/a>, a national non-profit, to transform Slater\u2019s bedroom into his ultimate fantasyland for the homecoming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiving back to the community is an important part of being a business owner,\u201d says Johnson. \u201cWe at Closets by Design are fortunate to have a great team that wants to volunteer and is thrilled to be a part of these projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since Slater\u2019s condition doesn\u2019t allow him to play outside, the team brought the outdoors to him \u2014 turning a rug into a grass carpet beneath his feet and a bunkbed into a treehouse. Branches on a mural extend the treehouse theme across the bedroom walls, creating a playground for a variety of Slater\u2019s favorite characters, like Mario and the team from Toy Story.<\/p>\n<p>Because the room is small and doesn\u2019t have much space for furniture, the closet was a crucial piece of the makeover. The Closets by Design team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.closetsbydesign.com\/closets\/walk-in-closets\/\">designed the closet<\/a> in a unique way to maximize storage for clothes, shoes, and toys for Slater and his 7-year-old brother Sawyer with whom he shares the room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis experience brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart knowing Closets by Design will make Slater\u2019s life just a bit easier,\u201d added Johnson. \u201cWe were honored to be a part of Slater\u2019s room make-over!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the best day ever!\u201d exclaimed 5-year-old Slater Bushman when he opened the door to his newly designed bedroom.
