Here we are now in February, and our toy room has been fabulous! It is soooo easy to pick up, and now the girls know where all of their toys are! The most amazing thing about it is that the girls actually play with their toys more! Before we had this, they only occasionally played dress up, but now, it is almost a daily occurrence. We have all of the dress up clothes in one of the drawers, and all of their babies and baby clothes are in the other, not mish-mashed in one bucket. You can see by the 2nd photo that the toy room was insane. It looked like this way too often for my liking!
Now, everything is organized. I still have to "decorate" a bit, and put some more photographs up, but overall, it is very, very functional! I absolutely love it, and I think Kevin would agree. It holds a tremendous amount of stuff! I may buy 4 more baskets and put the books, etc inside of it to look more organized, but for now, it is awesome!
I finally don't feel anxious when I come into the playroom. I actually enjoy being in here again, and I think the girls enjoy it more, too!
Here are some more "after" photos! We use the piece of furniture below as our "arts & crafts" storage, and we change Clara on the top of it. It works out great. We used to have our TV on top of that.
You are a woman after my own heart Steph!!!!!!!! Love it!!! BTW-made the pudding frosting and was SUPER AUNT and SUPER MOM today! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteSteph,
ReplyDeleteThe furniture looks amazing. I like the dark wood too. I definitely see an organized living room. There is something to be said about de-cluttering.
Looks way better Steph ;)
ReplyDeleteI know I can't function in clutter, so what makes me think the kids can. Taming the toys is an absolute must, and it's amazing how quick and easy it is to clean when you have the right tools & everything has a spot. I am so happy you can all enjoy the playroom now.
