In Need of Organization!

This is what our bonus room usually looks like:


Actually I'm lying. It's usually worse. It has a huge big screen TV... ya know, the big old kind. and a rocking chair. and TOYS. Everywhere. Hopefully we will find a sofa we like soon. It's getting kind of old having a place for only one person to sit. But until then I needed something to store some of the smaller toys in. I found this at Target on sale for $39.


I put it together myself on Tuesday night. What I thought would take 20 minutes, ended up taking an hour and 45 minutes! Seriously. It was irritating the you know what out of me! But I'm happy with the outcome. A little stylish once I put some nic-nacs (or is it knick-knacs?... don't laugh) and decorate it up a little. But most importantly, it hides all the blocks and cars and stupid little toys that always get lost.

Let's hope I can teach these kids to HELP me put the toys back in their cubbies when they're finished playing with them.

That is a great storage unit for the bonus room! Sorry it took so long to put together though! You're a trooper for doing it yourself! Hope it helps hide the toys!

Yeah for being organized! I love the new shelves! You are so good to go out and shop the sales, I know there are great ones, I just couldn't do it, I despise the crowds :(
We have that same tent thing too!
