I have a new toy storage area!

**Tinglesnark** · 07-05-2011, 12:18 PM

i understand completely! my dp is a whizz at making me storage cupboards that look integral to the wall and i am so proud of them (and him, she grudgingly admits

) that im always pointing them out to visitors that may not have noticed and they sort of look at me in a perplexed manner as if they are wondering if i may need medication...

gotta love a man that make you a cupboard!

i am very excited for you!

I feel your excitement as we did the same thing. We knocked 3 cupboards that backed onto each other into one big walk in toy cupboard. I love it and showed everyone. You enjoy your toy cupboard

Awesome

I love cupboards - its very exciting

I moved from a house with only one real cupboard to speak of to my new house which has loads of useful cupboards up and down stairs

Enjoy your cupboard

I totally understand your excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just done out my utility room to utalise the space so the children can now see what I have on offer and help themselves.I also have a craft store area.The kids are loving being able to choose all their modelling stuff.

I was so excited when I popped a photo of toilet rolls onto a box.

My friends didn't understyand either

I'm very unorganised at the minute, I have clear storage boxes that are overflowing so the lids will not fit, some go 3 high, and no-one plays with the bottom toys.
I sat in a local nursery today having a first aid course and all I kept thinking about was, how lovely the storage was and how nice the displays were and blah blah blah.
I don't have an ikea near me, but will check online at the storage range you have all mentioned.
Wish i knew a joiner who could make me a storage unit or bookcase.

Wow, just been looking at ikea trofast and I'm very jelous, as it looks ideal for my storage problems, something to think about, pity they don't do home delivery.

Oh no, I tried to attach a photo but it says it is too big - Not sure how to make it smaller other than putting it into something like publisher and literally changing the size???

I think if you load it into an online programme like photobucket it works or I use a programme on my computer called pixsizer Free to download think someone on here recommended it to me. I am sure there are instructions on the forum somewhere (not sure where though)
