With four kids, we certainly have had our share of toys in our house! Now that my three oldest are able to play on their own, it is easy to keep their toys out of the main living areas. But my youngest still needs to stick around where ever we are so having toys, books and puzzles on our main floor is a must. I also want to maintain an inviting spot for guests though (and honestly, I don't want to be staring at toys all day every day...I have this little cleanliness OCD things that kicks in ;) ) so I keep her toys on the main floor discretely tucked into this little basket.
I found something that would blend into our decor so it wouldn't stick out and scream "toys live here!" I also love this solution because it keeps control of how much is in the space-if it doesn't fit in the basket it stays in the play room or her bedroom. Over the years I have used different baskets and storage items that have fit in with our room at the time, but I especially love this one for the size. It can store a lot but not to the point that it feels like you are going into a black hole when looking for something in it!
My favorite part is that when she is done playing, we are having people over, or when all the kids are in bed for the night, we can quickly toss it all back in there and still feel like we are in an adult space and not in the middle of a toy store ;)
Thanks for stopping by today!
