The first thing we needed to do for Hayden’s room was to address her toy situation. I went through her toys with her using Marie Kondo’s method and asked her, “Does this item still bring you joy?” I was surprised at how much she was willing to part with. After that, we organized the remaining toys back into the baskets and used a darling printable for the label that includes pictures and words. I found these for free by subscribing to The Blesser House. We laminated the labels at home with these that we had on hand. She has been loving how easy she has been able to find the toy she is looking for. I am hopeful this new method will help her keep her room clean and stay a bit more organized.
I also noticed how much toy furniture she has. She spends most of her play time with dollhouses. I thought if I could create a dollhouse for her using her extra toy shelf, she may not keep so many toys on the ground. She was given some Maileg toys for her birthday last year so I decided to use those for my inspiration.
The furniture she had wasn’t all that cute but they were wood and I’m all about re-doing to save money. I also used this as
We then used some spray adhesive to attach Maileg wrapping paper to the walls of the top shelf of the Ikea bookshelves for the wallpaper. The floor can be found here and was applied via the same method to the shelves.
