Extreme Makeover: Playroom Edition!

Our playroom is the most used room in the house and deserved some attention. I was formerly using big plastic bins to store the 5,000 toys, but they were always disorganized and messy looking. So the Husband took a trip to a little slice of heaven called Ikea and VOILA! It's a world of difference. All the toys have a place, there's room in the floor to play, and it just feels happier. I even hung some ribbon as a way to display the artwork we make. I used to do this in my classroom and it is a great way to display things without sticking it to the wall, and it looks cute with multi-colored ribbons.

There are no before pictures, mainly because why would I take a picture of a mess? I didn't know how much better it would look or I would have taken some... so use your imagination!

That looks so great! I really wish we had the space for a dedicated playroom.

I love it! I wouldn't have thought about using one of those units in the girls room (since I don't have a playroom- otherwise known as I gave myself a scrapbooking room instead).

I so want to go to Ikea now! We just moved and LitlBit finally has a playroom. Now, for mommy to figure out how to make it a functioning room instead of a room of mess! Thanks for the inspiration!
