I have finally made some progress in the playroom! (YAY) After searching and searching, I splurged and went with the Pottery Barn Kids Cameron Storage System during their storage sale. It took some convincing to my better half…but we love it! It’s the perfect size for our wall and our 2 year old, good quality and the compartments are exactly what we needed to get everything organized. The cabinets hold games on one end and art supplies on the other. The drawers are roomy and fit more than I thought they would – we segregated them into large “electronicy” toys, tchotchke toys and stuffed animals. I love that her toys are so easily accessible and not buried in baskets or the closet. I plan to eventually get 4 straw baskets for the cubbies to organize the blocks, train set, etc.
The “ABC” wall has also finally made an appearance. The 45″ RIBBA ledges are from Ikea and flashcards were a Christmas gift 2 years ago (I believe from Land of Nod). I had a few RIBBA frames I actually used for the flash cards to see how they would look…they looked awesome until the garage door was accidentally slammed shut (draft) and the frames toppled over (oops). So those don’t work – they are too wide to securely stay on the ledge. I still plan on finding some cheap white frames to give it a more finished look…but so far I love it. All in all it has made the room feel bigger and has provided so much more order. Adeline, who loves having a place for everything and I believe has a minor case of OCD (after my husband) adores it all.
