"New" Closet

Remember this before and after?  I decided to utilize the space on the left-hand side and turn it into a toy closet.  I moved a not used enough bookcase from the office and put toys in small and medium bins that I already had.  I made labels on label sheets (also used here) and cut them to size (if you would like me to send you the document I made for the labels, email me - I'd love to share.).  And now we have a toy closet.  No toys in the living room and just a few toys left in the family room.  This has revolutionized how my kids play.  They are intentional about what they play with and cleaning up is much easier. 
 
 
Would you ever consider converting a closet into a toy closet?

Tomorrow I'm announcing a new spring cleaning event for the month of March - come back - your house will thank you!

  1. Great idea! We have bins in my son's room. He houses all the toys (other than my daughter's special toys) because they seem to play up in his room more. I, too, made labels and included a picture for my son who, at the time, couldn't read. Made clean up way easier too!
