I have been struggling with toy storage in our main living room, since we don't have a separate playroom, and finally just bit the bullet to have a 9 foot built in cabinet built along one wall - cabinets all along the base, some open shelving on top and an open area in the middle for our TV. I'm pretty psyched about it - but I've been saving to do it for a while. I was going to DIY it myself using Ikea pieces and them trimming it all in to look built it, but I ended up getting a quote not much more than all of those parts and pieces and I don't have to build it myself! Score! Can't wait to hide some of the toys and try to organize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-interior-decorators-and-organizers#post-2866863 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 22:49:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2866863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: @yellowbeach: just make sure you get the weber over the fridge cabinets so it’s deeper than the shelves.

We put kid proof latches on the doors instead of knobs so we can store things we don't want them to access. And since the base is much deeper than the kallax, it's impossible to tip it over (both DH and I have tried). We did secure it to the wall just in case since now the kids play in the upstairs playroom alone, but it's sturdy. And you could do it smaller with a smaller kallax.</p> <p>This is ours in our old condo.</p> <p>ETA: it’s huge 😂</p> <p>[attach=2307/19/plek3k.450x600.0A0FC205-2020-4289-91FA-A6FFFEB1991C.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-interior-decorators-and-organizers#post-2866843 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 21:14:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2866843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to is cube shelves, like the IKEA Kallax. We have a big 4x4 one in our playroom. But with that height I would probably want to make sure it was anchored securely and it sounds like that could be an issue. a 2x4 cube unit would work though. I have been working on different size bins for different size toys in ours. It holds a ton but as my kids get bigger, their toys get smaller with more parts, so the big drona bins from ikea aren't as well suit for small things. </p> <p>Target has really good deals on their Threshhold cube storage right now. I got a 2x3 one for my 5 year olds room last week actually. FWIW it's a little cheaper than the Ikea one and feels a little cheaper than the Ikea one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-interior-decorators-and-organizers#post-2866841 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 21:09:33 +0000 Littlebit7 2866841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d go to Ikea and work with one of their designers to do some semi custom closet/ organizing systems. I was going to suggest cube storage but sometimes you need DOORS to close off the mess </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-interior-decorators-and-organizers#post-2866835 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 20:16:10 +0000 yellowbeach 2866835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve been struggling to find the best solution to get our playroom (AKA my former dining room) organized and tidy. The room is roughly 10’ x 10’ so not huge. I’d like to use some of the vertical space to help store things, but everything designed for this seems to stay at kid height (3-4’). To complicate matters, under that wallpaper is 100 year old plaster, not drywall, making it extremely difficult to mount shelves. Any and all suggestions appreciated! 🎨 ⚽️🎪🧩🎹🚗🎀🧸 </p> [attach=7491/19/pleguy.600x216.084E369B-B5C9-4D66-9BEC-4074C3A601B7.jpeg] [attach=7491/19/plegv0.600x450.E369E004-EECA-4D6D-AFD3-669A291E81CD.jpeg] [attach=7491/19/plegv1.600x450.FD3C0E4F-4FAD-4B81-B285-07E927A62B38.jpeg] [attach=7491/19/plegv2.600x450.BC9D6C14-3CB0-4A50-ACB8-9857F62D2673.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-tree-storage#post-2841781 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 23:00:02 +0000 Myicitygirl 2841781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a really sturdy, rugged plastic storage bin that fits their artificial tree?

Since he was 2, I would buy the light colored versions (there's a set that is neon colors or something and they don't stain as badly as the bold and classic sets) and he could have them in the kitchen, when he was sitting down. We have an old formica table that I can clean with a magic eraser, so I figured that was a good place for art (markers and paint). </p> <p>There's a set of color wonder markers that look like paintbrushes, those were a bit better than the traditional markers. I was disappointed in the finger paint, they're clear gel and don't spread that well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-art-station#post-2784248 Sun, 05 Nov 2017 06:39:44 +0000 wrkbrk 2784248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: They do have a delay.
