Playroom Organization

I’ve got that beginning-of-the-year buzz and clutter better watch out! Instead of resolving to a general, “keep life organized”, I’m tackling specific problem areas in my house…starting with the playroom.

The kids’ playroom is often a room I’d rather just shut the door to then deal with the mess. I’m thrilled the girls and their friends have so much fun, and we always strive for that 5-10 minutes of “clean-up time” at the end of a play date. Realistically, however, it doesn’t always work out.

I’m going to take these playroom storage ideas and create organizational systems that are visually fun and colorful, while also practical and easy to accomplish. 2012 will be the year we achieve playroom organizational nirvana! Who’s with me?
