One of the hardest parts about playrooms is the sheer volume of items (big and small) and all of the different categories of toys. This IKEA KALLAX unit makes it easy to come up with a system to divide and conquer all of the toys, which I love.

This unit creates a cohesive look with the other furniture pieces I have done in this room and allows for a lot of storage. Not surprisingly, I wanted to jazz it up a bit to make it look more customized. But this was a pretty straightforward and easy project.

Kids. have. so. much. stuff. And inefficiency in any closet can be a total waste, but especially in a child’s closet. It is so easy to avoid the clutter and live with it in disarray. I certainly did. I used to make sure the door to the closet was shut because that was the only way for me to try to ignore the disorganization. But now, I have a system that is working to keep the space organized.

So, my IKEA kick continues. I updated two IKEA MALM dressers to make them nightstands for the guest room/playroom project. Again, as a novice DIY-er, I am very proud of how they came out and I learned quite a bit. And as nightstands, they have so much storage!

My daughter loves playing with her play kitchen and accessories. It will keep her busy and her imagination running wild for hours, which makes my mommy heart so happy. But the Mrs. B. Organized side of me dreaded the mess and play food items everywhere… my organization brain had an idea to jazz up the IKEA DUKTIG play kitchen and add a refrigerator for storage.

This project was incredibly simple and quick! This is part of a bigger project I am slowly but surely working to complete. I wanted the easel to match the IKEA Lätt children’s table project in hopes of having a cohesive play room in the near future. It came out really cute…

Truth be told, I never really considered myself much of a DIY-er. But maybe that is changing? I scoured the internet for a children’s table that I liked, and they were either too plain or too expensive. So I thought I would try my hand at upgrading one to fit what I wanted.
