playroom cabinets

Lego in hardware organizers from Home Depot.
Jigsaw puzzles and board games
This cabinet is almost entirely board games, most of them European.
Little houses that fold open. The people and furniture are in several plastic drawers below.
Playmobil sorted into plastic bins: construction workers, grocery store, hospital, pirates, house, etc.
Erector sets organized into plastic sectioned containers from IKEA
Barbie and Kelly dolls. We resisted for 6 years. I didn't buy them -- they were gifts!
Wooden puzzles
Card games, flash cards, etc.
Polly pocket -- little dolls with microscopic rubber clothing and shoes.
Mr Potato Head, Wooden block town, My little Pony, Matchbox cars & trucks.
Drawers hold: Lauri Foam puzzles, Felt toys, Doctor and Fix-it kits, wooden marble run, sock matching game, etc.
Finger puppets!
Furniture and people for the folding houses.
Dress up clothes, toy foods, wooden building blocks.
playroom cabinets by scrappin in the rain.
TUNHEM cabinets from IKEA. The perfect storage solution for the formal living room, which we've made into a playroom for the kids. Fast clean up, close the doors, and the room is presentable and ready to be used for new activities.

Actually it was quite easy (I love IKEA!). The cabinets went together in about an hour (using my elecric screwdriver), and then it took about an hour to "find a place" for everything. It's great now because the kids know where everything belongs at clean up time.

Bolted to the walls, absolutely. We live in Earthquake country. IKEA even provides the kit to attach it to your walls for safety.

I went to IKEA's website to see if they still make these cabinets because I'm looking for some enclosed storage solutions. Drat! They don't. I don't want the Billy/glass doors either. It's for the basement.

Thanks for sharing, tho.

Do your kids use all that stuff? Or do they spend most of their time on the video? They grow fast and they get too much. I found that once the kids move on to the next thing I just move it out of the house and hopefully someone gets some use out of it before it hits the landfill. And I don't have to buy more Ikea.

Actually they DO use it all. I think we're the only family in the neighborhood without a video gaming system, yet our house is packed with kids nearly every day after school. We rotate the toys in and out of the cabinets. When we have family gatherings or neighbors come to play, we have something that appeals to all ages. And one of those cabinets is filled with strategy games for adults (me!).
