Ahhhh, the dreaded playroom cleanup. Always monumental. Always time consuming. This time was no exception.
Here's what I was up against.
I told you it was monumental. Can you believe that mess?
After hours and hours of organizing, purging, re-arranging, scouring, mopping, hair-pulling, ibuprofen-popping, here's the end result.
There's more.
The shelves are homemade, and I must give credit to my sister Brenda for the fabulous idea. She suggested that I buy cinder blocks and plywood for low-standing shelves. What a great idea! I was able to control the height and the length of the shelves. I didn't want them too high as I have a 4 year old. The low-standing shelves will promote independence since she's able to select her own toys.
Best part? The kids are loving their new playroom. They spend so much more time in there, and surprisingly, are cleaning up after themselves. I love it, and they do, too!

You are so lucky to have a play room, I dream of finishing the basement so all of ER's stuff can go down there and not spill over everywhere in our great room.
