My Husband Rocks Friday: Our Organized Toy Wall
I haven’t done one of these posts in ages (as my husband likes to remind me), but that doesn’t mean he’s been anything less than awesome!
Here is our latest accomplishment — taking items we already had (like an old entertainment unit), wrangling ALL of the kids’ toys and creating a “toy wall” in our basement, to keep them all in one place.
 |
| Behold! The toy wall! |
 |
| Darling Husband repurposed our old entertainment unit, bolted it to the wall, and we added zillions of clear bins that we already owned (I have a bin fetish) |
 |
| I made the labels by glueing yellow scrapbook paper to blue scrapbook paper, and writing on them with a black Sharpie. Simple, simple, simple! |
 |
| We got those two LiteBrites at a yard sale, and we love them! |
 |
| Finally, a spot where Darling Husband can always find his precious headphones (and they’re safe from the kiddies) |
 |
| My friend A laughed at my “broken toys” bin, but we need it! D is always breaking little pieces off his cars, so I need a spot to stash them until I can glue them back on. |
 |
| I love that we can store all of our BIG toys out of the way (well, most of them) |
 |
| I got so sick of picking up D’s sports equipment, and it didn’t fit into any of our storage bins. So I used one of our laundry hampers from Walmart. Perfect for bats and golf clubs! |
 |
| We left this spot on the shelves for a cozy quilt, so we can cuddle up on the couch. |
 |
| Most of the kids’ books live upstairs in D’s room, but we keep a small sampling in the basement. We used to keep them on a shelf, but it was waaaaay too messy. Now they’re tucked out of sight, so I don’t care if he just shoves them all back in. |
 |
| The movies live in the other cabinet (and Elmo, because D decided it was his house) |
I don’t know about you guys, but LABELS + STORAGE BINS = LOVE! This was a project that didn’t cost a single cent, but it’s made a HUGE difference to my enjoyment of the basement.
Thank you, Darling Husband, for your help with this! Organization is my happy place, and I love you for understanding that!
