So I felt like last year my project was my bedroom and this year I want my project to be Ryder's room. Right now I'm just in the research phase and so here are some of my notes:
Problems: Space. We don't have too much to work with. We decided to keep a daybed in Ryder's room and although I could get rid of it (I've thought this through thoroughly), I'm not willing to give it up and so the room-hogger stays and leaves us with little space to work with. Toys. It seems like yesterday I was complaining about how Ryder didn't have enough toys. Goodness, give him a holiday and a couple of relatives and poof! Problem solved. Now I just need to figure out a creative way to store them. I have faith. Height. That boy gets taller and taller every day! He can easily get to my placed "ka-ka" items (lotions, diaper rash creams, etc).
Notes: There is a good possibility we're moving this year, so more permanent things like paint and fixtures aren't necessarily the priority.
Here are some thoughts:
I loved something like this for books. It keeps them up high just in case you have some nicer childrens books your little buddy might tear in a fit of excitment :)
Then there is the old, cute or practical battle? I really like the fun/cute storage bins featured here from PB, but I'm also really liking the TROFAST childrens storage system going on
here (Totally check it out). Or maybe I should just go straight for the Rubbermaid bins. Any suggestions? Have you had any storage system work particularly well for you and your babes?

I'm in the process of working on our baby room as well, and have been debating shelving and storage. I keep going back and forth between things, so I'm happy to hear your ideas! I really like the magazine rack idea for books, it adds decor while being practical as well.
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas! Thanks for sharing. I love Rubbermaids. They make me feel mighty organized, not so pretty though.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have "helpers" I liked see through storage. I currently have a set of primary colored drawers that have Lincoln Logs, Lego, blocks and happy meal toys that have been collected by each child, each year, each holiday. It adds up. I won't give up these classics.
ReplyDeletei love that 1st rack for books. where do I get that? I want to hear more of your ideas. these are great!
