Just off the top of my head...

Some smaller space decorating ideas...
Totally diggin the groovy TROFAST toy storage from IKEA. Paint the holder white and then put big clear labels on each bin for the different toys...

Use this as a coffee table.Drape it with some nice fabric and inside put winter costs, sheets, towels, whatever we don't need right away. Use those wonderful space bags to compress everything down so it will fit.


The IKEA INGO wall mounted drop leaf table. We get two of them (paint them white) and invest some money in laptops. Get rid of these space eating hard drives and desks. The computers go up on a shelf above the tables when not in use to keep small hands off of them.
These are 100% recycled indoor/outdoor 4' X 6' Carpets from a wonderful company called Koko. They might be great for the kitchen area because I hate the flooring we have in there now...



This is one of the smartest things I've ever seen. It's a bed riser and it lifts your bed up so you have more room under the bed for storage. So damn cool...Get a nice bed skirt and no one is any the wiser

Pot Rack. Really, do I need to say ANYTHING about how much we need this?




12" deep wall mounted shelves. They come in lenghts up to 6'. These would be ideal for keeping small hands off of items we need to keep safe. They would also be amazing at keeping the kitchen more organized and focused if I could keep plates and cups and glasses on these rather than in the shelves and use the shelves for other things.

Acanthus Message Boards 53" x 83" Eliminate the need for loose papers everywhere. Stick the important ones in one place.





These beds are great. They come in twin and king. Get two for the boys room and get rid of the dressers.
