Great job! I love the labels. I can completely relate to locking the door on the clean room. After we organized our boys’ room we put all the toys in the closet and locked it. Now they have to ask to play with them and we put them back and relock the door when they are done. No more stepping on a thousand legos.

Ooh, I love these projects! At least, reading about them. Doing them is exhausting, but so rewarding. Lucky for me Uncle Sam gives me cause to declutter every couple of years or so… The shelves on the landing are perfect. And I’m of the mind you can never have too many shelves — in small homes they can serve as the backdrop while still providing the storage. Do you ever let yourself get rid of books?

Look at you go amazing pregnant woman!!! I wish I had that much energy when I was pregnant!

Everything looks fabulous. But holy toys batman! I vote you get rid of them and buy more books. They are so much easier to organize!

Now that’s some Christmas Cleaning! I wonder if my kids would go for that?

Congrats on the new baby! Yes, I like to move my living room furniture around twice a year. I have my fall-winter look and my spring-summer. Dear hubby just shakes his head and laughs.

I used to use Christmas (and birthdays) as an excuse to clean out the toys. Told the kids no new toys coming in until we had some going out.

I did the same thing on Saturday. I was “making room for Santa”. I’ve got the urge to rearrange the playroom (I love moving furniture too!), but will likely wait until after Christmas.
So I purged a bunch of toys on Saturday, and then on Sunday some friends from church dropped off 15 sets of Geotrax! So we’re cluttered again, and I need to set up a “toy rotation” system now!
Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a tackle I need to do as well. I have absolutely no idea where MORE toys will go. I try to tell family “SMALL GIFTS” & we end up with kitchen playset & workshop benches.
