Well, i haven't posted many house pictures because, well, no room is completely finished yet. Everything is mostly unpacked, but little decorating has taken place. But the playroom is close, so i took some pictures to post! It still needs wall decor, which will take some time for me to get the projects done. I want to make two boards with clips for the kids to hang their art work on (since it piles up on my counter in the kitchen!) and i am either going to use my cricut to make wall words or cars/trucks or i will hang pictures of the boys in there. The ceiling slants down, and that makes the walls short, so i don't have too much room to work with since the toys are up against the wall too. When we first moved in, and i pulled all the toys out, the room was a disaster because there was no organization to the room.... so i labeled all the containers with a picture of what goes in it along with the name of what goes in.
The above picture is looking in the door and the the bottom picture is to the right after walking in.... it is the dress up area & the green tote holds "tools". The toy chest is empty at the moment, but it used to hold the geotrax train set... but i found that it collected EVERYTHING because it was easy to just throw it all in there (for the boys).
This is the reading/quiet area. Don't worry, we own MANY more books than this... but i rotate them out to keep things sane.
The table has a tote on top that has bristle blocks and the basket beside it holds magnadoodles (yes we have many). I think the other tote is explanatory, but to those who have girls.... it holds all the peices to the GeoTrax train set.
This picture needs to be retaken, but i am too lazy! :) I couldn't find the big area rug that is a town for cars to ride along on top of.... so i settled for the tiny little one I had in my work stuff. BUT, i found it in Mema's attic! Yay! So now there is a big area rug in the middle of the room, by these totes..... the blue tote holds "Big vehicles" and the green roller cart has three drawers. The top holds geotrax vehicles and people, remotes, etc. The second holds matchbox cars, and the bottom holds action figures, animals, etc.... The large chest is just storage for extra toys that they have outgrown that i can't part with yet.
We have had this room organized for about a month now, and honestly when it is time to clean up... it goes very smoothly. The kids know where everything is supossed to go! I think the labels have worked & it helps mommy &
daddy know where everything goes as well!
