Question: What should I get?

I am trying to figure out what I want to buy for toy storage for my 2 kids. I am wanting to redo the storage in both of their rooms. I was thinking of buying them both the DIY bookshelfs from Target, with chalkboard bins to put it in. Then I was thinking of buying them each a toy box. But I'm not sure if I should get a typical toy box, a couple of the large chalkboard bins on wheels or one of these stackable storage units I found. I know I want the bookcase, with bins in them. Plus something for the bigger toys. But which do you think would work the best?

We moved into a new house, and their rooms aren't as big as they used to be. So I'm trying to find somethings that would hold a lot, but not take up a lot of room.

This is the bookcase I was thinking of getting for my son. I was going to put a couple of bins in, and leave the rest for books.

But should I get these large rolling bins?

Stackable storage units?

or just a regular toy box?

This is the bookcase I want for my daughter.

Should I get her the rolling bins?

The stackable storage?

or just a regular toy box?

I also have this in my toyroom and love it too (also from Ikea): This is Trofast and there are tracks for storage bins to fit in. We have different sized primary colored bins in ours.
	by bvona on Jun. 20, 2008 at 11:19 PM I like the bins. But it all depends on you and the kids style. If yall are into keeping like toys together, then smaller units would be ideal. But if you're a chunk and hide kinda gal (like myself) then the deep bins are the way to go! -Brandy www.custommuralsbybrandy.com

	by pandora1988 on Jun. 30, 2008 at 11:22 PM What a fabulous idea! I have the same bins from Target, but the backing they gave stinks! So, I might just try that. Thank you!

I used the backing over the back of the fabric for more stability. I actually got the fabric idea from a friend. I love it!
