Space Saving Kids Room Inspiration

I am always looking for new ways to maximize space in the kids room. My inspiration came in e-mail form this morning from my very own sister. Needless to say she was a busy bee.

With lack of space, I just might have to implement a similar concept.

Growing children between ages 6 and 12, are still in transitional state, not yet ready to get rid of their toys, but starting to show interest in other things like video games, crafts, reading, and also having homework every day. We have to adjust accordingly. 

To do this, she has bought two loft beds, two desks with chairs, and used their existing dressers. They added fun detail by adding cute desk accessories and stickers on the walls, spelling out the girls names, identifying their own space. The little one, when told to do her homework, said "Mommy, can we do it in my office today?" How cute is that?!
All of their toys are in the playroom in the basement. (I just might have to go over and snap some pictures).

Check her pictures out and tell me what you think.

 





Have you seen cuter faces? They make me melt!

Have a fun, joyful, blessed day,

ORGANIZING YOUR COAT CLOSET


-Pull all of your out-of-season coats, shoes and accessories out of your closet. Check them thoroughly to see if they need mending, if so put aside and do it right after organizing the closet. If your items cannot be mended, throw them away, don’t think twice. The coats that are still good, but you do not wish to keep, give them away or donate. The pile you wish to keep, launder and store away in a large plastic waterproof container. Don’t forget to label it, for easy access next year. With the "out-of-season-gear" out of the way, you will have less clutter.

-Pull out all of your 'out-of-season' shoes, and separate (keep, donate, toss). Place the 'in-season' shoes you wish to keep on a shoe rack or a hanging shoe organizer.

-Store all in-season accessories (such as hats, scarves, gloves, umbrellas, etc.) in a box/basket, or a hanging closet organizer for a much neater look. When needed, you know exactly where to find it.

-The biggest problem I have is my children’s shoes. They’re always scattered and there are millions of them. First, I divide the shoes by season, than decide what to do with each pair. If they are in good condition and they fit properly, they are placed into a basket (labelled with each child's name) with the most frequently worn shoes on top.

-Another way to organize your kid’s shoes is to clip pairs together with a clothes pin, so you don’t have to search for the other shoe!

-You can keep a basket, or one of those cute cube boxes in your closet to store slippers for guests. It's an adorable look.

Storing Away Christmas Ornaments on a Budget

Hi Friends,
With the holiday season wrapping up, it is time to slowly pack away all the Christmas decorations. I have found some cheap and easy tricks to use to store away your ornaments, ensuring that they will remain intact until next Christmas.



Save your egg cartons for organizing those tiny ornaments.



You can store the larger ornaments into the apple containers.
























































 Hot glue cups to cardboard and store the ornaments in them. You can stack these into tubs.



Happy Organizing,
