What’s the most ingenious thing you’ve got in your playroom?

My baby’s only 9-months old and my once uncluttered living room’s current decorating theme can only be described as “urban toystore.”

I’ve found that the best addition I made to my son’s playroom was a short set of shelves that held brightly colored plastic bins. The bins are greatly for storing loose toys of all sizes so that the rest of his playroom doesn’t appear cluttered, and are easily accessible by young children. My son loves the fact that he can see and get to all of his favorite toys, and the fun colored bin encourages quick and easy cleanup (even by my toddler!).

Here’s an example of what I am talking about:

I love the idea of chalkboard paint on the walls because it encourages creativity, but I think you need to keep in mind that young children can’t always distinguish when a behavior is appropriate and when it isn’t. I’d be afraid that my son would transfer his wall writing skills to other venues – other people’s homes, school, even your other non-chalkboard painted walls.
