Big Girl Room

I finally did it! I cleaned and cleared out Abby's room!

I have spent 4 years trying to figure out how to best keep things under control and I think I am getting closer. Here's a rundown of what I did...

First, I purged!

Then, I moved her furniture around, and cleaned the floors and baseboards.

 

 

Her room isn't very big, so lastly, I tried to hang as much as possible. I made a few crafts to incorporate her useful items and have them at her reach.

 

I put her clothes in bins, with labels...

 

      

I separated her most played with items - dolls and their accessories into one drawer, and all her barbie stuff in the other drawer...

 

I made her a shelf, using an old cabinet door, and I glued a Princess gift bag to the top of it. I also made her a jewelry hanger, using the other cabinet door and a couple drawer pulls (I left the original door pull on there since it's useful)...

 

 

 

 

 At the entrance of her room (top) I hung a shelf that my mom painted with Winnie the Pooh to hold her valuables that I don't want her playing with. I also made her a headband holder (middle) for which I drew inspiration from here. Then I used a picture hanger to hang an old closet organiser that was just sitting in my closet, for her belts (bottom).

 

Overall, I am pretty proud of my accomplishments.

 

Next up, The Professor's room! Do you have a room that you are neglecting out of frustration?
