Taming Kid-clutter party!

Wendy at "The Shabby Nest" is hosting The Taming your kids clutter party. I am looking forward to seeing some new ideas and possibly adding them to my own decluttering endeavors!

My child... is a married 23 year old who is the mother of a 22 month old baby boy. The "kid clutter" in my house is all the toys this Nanna needs to keep her little love-bug grandson happy! The first photo is the all important diaper changing table. I picked up this vintage beauty for FREEEEEEEEEEE off of Craigslist. It had the original finish which I easily painted over with white paint then I added new drawer pulls to update the look a little bit. It holds a lot of essential things like diapers, wipes, bibs & blankets... and the top drawer holds things that I pull out on occassion to keep my grandson from throwing a tantrum while his diaper is getting changed! The gold caddy was another freebie, at one time I think it held office supplies. The pony normally doesn't stand in front of the changing table-- but it is so darn cute I had to display it. (you can see the $2 dollar vintage ponies transformation here) Here is a 3 wicker basket etagere stand that I picked up for $30 buckeroos (off of craigslist) The whole thing was originally yellow, I painted it white and made the liners for each basket. It now holds Mr. Potatoe head parts and race tracks and other odds & ends~The bookcase I picked up for $8 bucks at a yard sale is jammed packed with pop up books and early reading books. The table and chairs I picked up for $8 dollars as well (yard sale) right now I've got them pushed up against the bookcase since he has no interest in sitting still or reading at this young age. But when he is ready...I'm ready!Finally, some toys. I put together this $1 dollar wire rack (yard sale find) and purchased the baskets off of craigslist (I love that site) for $2 dollars each.... I loaded up each basket with toys and weeded out the "junkie" toys as I went along. When my grandson gets older I will get larger baskets or bins to fit into each little cubbie :-)Lastly, my grandson's toddler bed. (I recently made over this vintage toddler bed, you can view that transformation here) This bed is at my daughter's house, under the checkered flag bedskirt of his bed is two flat under the bed plastic bins- full of his blankets, and bedsheets. Things you need....but never can seem to find in the linen closet when your looking for them! I thought that was a great idea for storing bed linens, under the bed!If you've linked over from The Shabby Nest and wish to view more of my blog.... click here for a lookie-lou.
