Ikea Cubby Organizer

Tweet This

I realize this play room may not be as cool or organized as some, but for us this is perfection. And by perfection, I mean there's no longer a narrow, over grown trail, with tripping hazards leading into the room.

We only bought the gynormous cubby organizer at Ikea a year ago, and we are just now putting it to efficient use. That didn't take long at all.

The main purpose of the shelving is to give a home to the boys', all three of them, thousands of legos. The stackable bins, which we already had, worked out a lot better, than the baskets we purchased from Ikea. But this is a work in progress, and since we know nothing about organizing, we're bound to make a few costly mistakes.

I'm excited that the two work tables, can also double as desks for completing homework when school starts. (note to the roommates: horizontal surfaces are not for storage)

I feel so good about this space now!!!!!! And I didn't even drink a pot of coffee to accomplish this feat of amazingness. Though I did take several power naps. Turns out, I accomplish much more when I'm well rested, as opposed to caffeineating my way through exhausting menial tasks.

Let's Get Organized! #2

Yes, this is the same suitcase from July!

This post may not make sense unless you read this post.


I have to admit I was a little disappointed in myself for not being able to organize an area for 15 minutes a day. But then I realized I'm not that kind of girl. And I am going to have to accept myself for who I am, with all my intermittent organizing. Besides, something is better than nothing.

This was my second burst of organizational inspiration complete with before and after pictures. This momentous organizational fit occurred about three days after the first public display of organization. But it took much longer than 29 minutes. How long? Roughly three hours.

Unfortunately, I haven't organized anything since, but I have mostly managed to keep the areas I did organize, clean, which is HUGE Internet! I feel so happy every time I look at an organized area.

Thanks for being my witness y'all.
