Does anyone have a playroom?

We are considering turning our third bedroom into a playroom, mainly to keep my living room from looking like I am running a daycare lol.  What kind of storage do you find helpful in a playroom, if you have one?

    Ha!  Our whole house!  I'm very interested in the answers bc we've got extra rooms that I know I will eventually want to actually USE.

    I wish!  We seriously have toys in every room.  The living room? Forget it.  Geoffrey the Giraffe designed it himself.  Even in our master bath, since that's where J plays while I get ready in the mornings.

    We have a 3rd bedroom, but it has to stay a bedroom since all of our family lives OOT...and it's not big enough to serve as both :(

    This has to be a temporary solution for us.  Our house is going on the market in October and the house we are looking at building actually has space for a playroom and I am excited about that..but until then I need to do something lol.

    We have something similar to this https://tinyurl.com/2vod668 that DH made and mounted on the wall.  It's filled with these https://tinyurl.com/32cafoo  but in cute pink and green colors.  We got our bins at Target, I think they were about $5 or $6 each. 

    We use ours in the closet for socks, burp cloths, ruffle butts, hats, bibs, and blankets.  They are really big and will fit a bunch of stuff!

    I actually have the 8 cubbie version of this in her closet with bins that match her colors in her room that I keep spare blankets, shoes, etc in.  I didn't think about getting one for her play area but that would actually be a really good idea!  Thanks!

    We turned one of our bedrooms into a playroom.  It's nothing spectacular, but it does the job.  I thought I would have a mural painted in there or at least get a cute phrase to stick on the wall, but it still hasn't happened.  I would love to get some really great storage/wall units from PBK or IKEA, but we haven't done that either!  It's easy for me to let things like that get away from me unless I do it all at once in the very beginning.  Right now, there is a toy box, a upright plastic storage unit, a lower plastic storage unit with bins, a hanging thing for the stuffed animals and then the 2 benches that came with the train table hold stuff too.  I keep all the baby toys that he has outgrown like the pooh train and push alongs in the walk-in closet along with his crafty things like play-doh and crayons and stuff.  Here are a few pics:

    Awesome thank you Monica.  I am looking for something similar for this house.  I am thinking nice wall units and stuff for the new house though but I am just looking for something on a less expensive scale for this one.  Thanks for the pictures they really help on seeing how you organized it.

    I would check out ikea.com, they have super cute storage stuff-some that is similar to what is in Monica's picture. Maybe also other closetmaid items... I am totally planning on getting a cube organizer like in the PP for LO's room. I love the idea.
