Wow, that looks like a great place to play, lots of fun toys and games. I prefer to think of it as lived in, not neccessarily messy, LOL.

What a great room!!!!! I would have thought I had died and gone to heaven if I had a room like that for my kids when they were young. Just think, all the toys contained in one area!!!! Heaven!!!!

Good luck with your cleaning Sara!

Good luck picking it all up Sara! :toothy: Tell me....how many times a week or a month do you pick up this wonderful playroom? I'm sure it must be quite often....;) ....I know our playroom got messy very quickly when the boys were younger....:) It seemed like it was never ending...

I still want to go through the totes for missing pieces to some things and I definitely need to do the bookshelf, but it can wait for another day. And there are still a few stray toys hanging around in other rooms.

lol I just picked it up again. It wasn't too bad. Of course, it takes no time flat to get it to where it was in the before pics.

Looks great Sara!

I bet your kiddos really like having a playroom. The next house we get, that is a PRIORITY lol.

Got any plans for a mural or anything on the wall? ;)

What a great room. I need to get some of those bins and storage thingies you have. I love that it's in the basement but has hardwood floors and looks like a regular room. My kids would never leave a room like that. Hmmmm.....;)

Yes. It definitely needs some decorating. I'd like to add some fun framed posters and a mural of some sort would be awesome. I've been knocking around the idea of wallpaper borders.

Thanks everyone. :)
