Containing the clutter

I am sure I am not the only one whose bedroom becomes haven for all things child throughout the day- especially on the weekend. I often get into bed only find I am sleeping on a buzz lightyear, toy car, sippy cup, book or whatever else has made it into our bed and room.

When I was at Kmart last week I saw these cute little canvas storage boxes for only $10 and thought this would be a great solution to clutter in our bedroom. And so I added a little label and so far after one weekend it has worked great. I just throw stuff in there during the weekend that doesn’t live in our room and I then walk around with it on Sunday night packing everything away.

The green matched particularly well with our wall colour which was great and this tub is the perfect size. It also comes in white and blue. These would also make great book and toy boxes in kids bedrooms.

The label was made with the Making Memories metal tag rims and the clips are from Kikki.K and I printed the label off the computer.

Small idea and small solution but already after only a week our bedroom looks tidy on a regular basis which is fantastic : )

    Excellent idea!
    I’m sick of hearing ‘to infinity, and beyond’ when we get into bed :p

    Might have a go this weekend, I already have the round metal rim tags!
