#82- O is for Organization

Last week we added the new Flor rug to the Playroom, and it has got me super motivated (even more than usual) to get this room looking great.  We have a long way to go, but I thought I start with a few updates to our Ikea Expedit shelf for storage and decor.  

Here's where we started with; just a few storage bins, and a lot of staggered well... stuff.

And here's the update:

I added a few more orange buckets from the Martha Stewart line at Home Depot to coordinate with the orange in my sassy new floor.

I also found these great blue bins at the Dollar Store, for- you guessed it, 1 clam each.  That's cheaper than Jersey Shore hair extensions.

For $1.59 each at Home Depot I was able to pick up a couple of 2 packs of these key chain labels which I could attach to each bucket to keep my anal retentiveness alive and well.   If obsessive organization is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Only at my house is there a basket in the Playroom just for capes.  We literally can't leave the house without one.  It's getting to be a bit concerning.

While I was at it I did a few reprints of the playroom art I made earlier  to spruce up the colors a bit and have them play off the rug. 

I also added a clock we had hanging out in the Exercise Room place where decor goes to die, so that everyone was on the same page in terms of nap and bed time.

So just a few updates today, but I have a fun curtain project for this room I can't wait to show you later this week, as well as a play table I plan to build, and some more organization in the closet.  (I know, I know, try to contain your excitement.

In the mean time, I'm looking for your opinion.  What do you think about the wall behind the cube shelf?  Should I paint it so the the backs of the shelves are a different color than the rest of the walls? I feel like it needs a little more, but I can't decide which color.  As always- suggestions are totally appreciated.
