Love how you've done that - it looks great, but is also fun and functional for everyone.Kim @ NewlyWoodwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306871325108889905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-53417935958273041712015-03-31T15:31:07.305-04:002015-03-31T15:31:07.305-04:00I'm a big fan of storing items where you need ...I'm a big fan of storing items where you need them to be/where you use them. I don't have kids, but I store running socks, headphones, headbands, hairbands, etc., in a little side table next to my front door, so everything is handy when I'm ready to leave for a run. If I didn't do that, I'd have to go upstairs to the bedroom for socks, master bath for hair holders, office for my headphones, mudroom for my shoes and THEN I might be able to get out the door. So you store those pajamas wherever they're most handy!

It was Living room time on my house tour and I was wrestling for days with posting the pics on account of the primary colored toys screaming from the living room! I, too, am working on a storage solution. I think yours is great!! www.country2coastal.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827609393058272625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-37400062462941884192015-03-30T16:35:44.930-04:002015-03-30T16:35:44.930-04:00We created a stove similar to your little kitchen,...We created a stove similar to your little kitchen, which I don't mind hanging out in the living room. We have a midcentury dresser as a television console, so the bottom two drawers are toys. Books are stored in an old record cabinet. I also limit the amount of toys she has access to at one time and rotate her toys out. If toys can't fit in their designated spots, they are put into bags in the closet and I'll switch them out in a couple weeks--then she gets all excited to see them again and it's like they're brand new toys to her. Thankfully, with the warming weather, she'd rather be outside playing anyway :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227084851070734005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-56000928950047644112015-03-30T14:01:28.370-04:002015-03-30T14:01:28.370-04:00I just buy fabulous large baskets from Home Goods ...I just buy fabulous large baskets from Home Goods and stuff them to the brim with toys in the living room. We just had a second baby so now she has her own basket of infant toys. Like you said, in a few years you'll have forgotten you even had all these extra things around because it goes by so quickly! <br /><br />Out of curiosity, I noticed you don't have a lot of pictures/art in your living room. Is this a concious choice/style preference? I tend to go too heavy on pictures and art so I'd love to hear your "philosophy"!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677118203666885629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-80425568537770825152015-03-30T11:46:17.233-04:002015-03-30T11:46:17.233-04:00Thanks!

I currently have a hockey net set up in my playroom. I don't have a basement and there has been snow all over the ground so my sports boy set up in the playroom. And you know what? I love it. It means this is his home too, because it is. I don't have a magazine perfect home by any means, And that is okay too.,.because it is full of love and fun. I think your living room does look magazine perfect BTW.Michele Favarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171132311741758304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-62934535127507600862015-03-30T11:27:27.413-04:002015-03-30T11:27:27.413-04:00You've found the perfect solution to having a ...You've found the perfect solution to having a child's play area in an adult room. Especially like you toy box solution. My great granddaughter is only 4 months but this will be her birthday gift next winter. They live in base housing with bedrooms on the 2nd floor. They also have to keep relocation in mind when planning. I'm already working on a littl kitchen for her from a repurposed piece of furniture. Could you share your source for the little cookware?
