Having little ones at home makes me realize that clever storage ideas are the key to keeping a semblance of peace and organization to the home. With the teeming amount of toys, trinkets, and art the kids bring home, there needs to be some way to store (or display) their keepsake treasures. Here are some unique storage ideas for the kid’s room to give you some inspiration on how to keep those books and toys off the floor – and highlight your children’s favorite toy of the moment.
