School starts tomorrow so for the past two days I’ve been working with the kids to get their rooms tidied up before the start of the new school year.
Not “tidying up” so much as organizing and purging. Am I a fun mom or what?!
Is it just my own kids or do others suffer from a minor hoarding addication as well? As we went through their drawers and bins we easily threw away a gazillion super balls, countless candy wrappers (yes, with no candy in them), and who knows how many dollar store toys from birthday parties. Unfortunately, the list could go on! Earlier this morning, my daughter was struggling through which stuffed animals to let go of and which ones to keep. It wasn’t pretty. She has at least 100 stuffed animals. Gah!
It seemed like we’d never reach the end and – in my perfectionist eyes – we’re not quite there yet, but I told them “good job” and let them have some fun with friends. When they’re in school I’ll finess it a little and go all Container Store on them. Ha!
Until then, I thought I’d share a little kids study area and bedroom inspiration. I’m dreaming of neat, tidy and cute kids spaces!
First some boys rooms:

And, the girls:
Have you found any good inspiration lately?
Hi Julie, my boys start back at school next week, like you I’ve been busy dreaming about kids rooms and what I’ll be planning to do with them, once I get a little more time. Major purge and makeover ahead for us! Antonia x
Can’t wait to see what you do, Antonia!
