Please help a new mom design playroom cabinets!
Comments (6)We have always organizerd our toys with plastic containers. Our first toy room had a closet with sliding doors (not walk-in), we removed the doors and used this for toy storage. We just lined the closet with 3 book shelves with shelves that could be rearranged. We lined most of it with plastic containers from Target (didn't use the lids). Then each container had a label...large legos, medium legos, wood puzzles, animals, people. Our last home we actually bought the storage systems from ikea. they are not "built-in." They work wonderful! I highly recommend open bins/containers for kids to easily access and clean-up. The wicker type containers (Pottery Barn, etc) are nice looking, but don't seem to hold up or clean up as well. Also, they will scratch the shelves/built-ins. Use as much for this toy storage as possible and don't be worried about building too high. They accumulate too many items/toys as they grow. I also love shelves that are too high for them to reach. This is wear I store board games, etc. thatI don't want them to reach by themselves. Also, older siblings like to have the higher shelves to "protect" their items from little brothers....See MoreHow to decorate kid’s playroom?

Comments (3)Umm, I need a bit more direction...which of these do you like the best? (my faves are #8 and #15 :-) Do you want to be able to easily re-do these cabs in the future? If yes, I would not collage them. Also, how old are the kids? Sorry! edit to add link: https://www.thespruce.com/best-ikea-ivar-storage-hacks-4119791...See MoreKids playroom Windows
Comments (8)Glad you like it. I found the picture as an illustration of the idea, but i have no idea about window coverings specifically. Sorry I can't help with that....See MoreJennene Blakely
