My children certainly do not lack toys. Just about every room in the house has toys in it. Now my husband and I have different views on toys and how many a child really needs. He thinks they would be fine with a set of crayons and a cardboard box. I think he feels that way because he's not the one who stays home with them all day every day!! I will admit that they do probably have more toys than are necessary but they actually do play with all of them. A cardboard box and some crayons are great and we do enjoy our art projects and thinking creatively but that lasts about 15 minutes or so. Our kids are busy and seem to need lots of options.
With that said... my playroom is a mess and needs better organization! We moved into this house a few months ago and I haven't quite got around to making the space functional for the kids and easy to clean for me. If money were no object I've got lots of ideas to transform the space into a dream playroom but I have a very limited budget and since we are renting permanent fixtures and painting is not an option. Some things I would love to do are:
Hang drapes to add color and soften the windows a bit
Get a play table for the center of the room (that's what the blue rectangle on the floor is going to be)
Dress up organization
new bins for some of the toys (preferably with latches)
Place to hang the kids artwork
Chalkboard/Magnetic board
Make the space more inviting/fun with artwork

I am embarrassed at the mess. Do you see why this room is in desperate need of some organization? Do you have lots of toys that are taking over your home? How do you keep them contained? I've thought about rotating toys. Putting some in a big bin and changing them out every so often to keep things more manageable and exciting for the kids but that seems like a lot of work.
