Since the cooler fall weather is upon us I'm looking to de-clutter our living/play room and streamline it. The kids will be spending more time inside and I don't want their toys to be a sore point for myself. Right now we have a toy box that was made by my great grandpa back when my brother and I were kids. It's beautiful, and holds lots of toys, but that seems to be it's down fall too. You can lose all the pieces to a toy in the bottom and virtually never find them again. So, we're looking for a toy bin/organizer/whatchamacallit. They seem to be pretty popular on Craigslist, so when we get back from vacation I'll be planning to snatch one up. They retail from $40 to $100+ new, but are going for about $25 on Craigslist.
How do you organize toys and games?
When our college was remodeling, we were able to get some old gym lockers. I sprayed them yellow and screwed them into the wall through every hole I could find (don't want a wall of lockers falling over if used as a ladder) and they have been so great for holding everything in the kids' room.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get some lockers for when my kids get older, thanks for the frugal tip :)
