Fall Cleaning and Organizing

As mentioned in the previous post I am getting my license to become a provider in the Family Child Care program. Some of the work has to do with prepping my house for inspections/walk through by the FCC Coordinator and also with the base fire agency. One of my goals in going through this process is to not lose my idea of what I would like my house to look like....homey, warm and inviting. My hope in getting prepared to open my doors is that my house looks more like Pottery Barn Kids(but without spending big bucks) then a school supply magazine.

So this is one area I will be working on. Love how my fall vignette is looking but the crazy round up of toys is not doing it for me. I plan on getting 4 more of those baskets from Ikea and some cute mini chalkboards with the name of the items made to attach to the front of them. Chalkboards and chalk??Won't it wipe right off?? Nope, not with chalk markers...only comes off if wet. So what I write on them should stay without too much fuss. I am looking forward to having this space:


looking much more organized and not so many toys staring me down! And oh yeah all those cords are disappearing too...they have been driving me nuts from day 1 and I think they have multiplied since then too! Stayed tuned on how this project turns out...already started parring down some of the toys!
