Recently, when I was asked to organize the belongings of a very particular 5-year old girl, I didn’t take that job lightly. If you’ve read the blog about the Flamingo Bathroom, then you’ll know this little girl loves to collect. And not only did we create space for her things to be kept and organized in the bathroom, we also got to tackle her bedroom.
Storage units with cubbies are perfect for kids like her because she can keep all the things she wants safe inside each box, but the visual clutter goes away for the rest of the family. She also has lots of stuffed animals, dolls and blankets that can get messy fast, but are easily contained in laundry baskets. Bonus, those can be repurposed for all kinds of items later on once the stuffed animal phase passes.
Lastly, I found the perfect little plastic dishes from Dollar Tree that we were able to scatter on her dresser, “makeup table” and nightstand so she always has a place to store whatever small items mean the most that day. This way they’re easily accessible, won’t get lost and look prettier than sitting in piles everywhere.
Enjoy this adorably pink room that now has a place for every special thing.
