I swear to goodness, every single day of my life I am picking up the tiny, endless pieces that go to the many puzzles, games and who knows what that we have in our house. My 2-year-old lately thinks it great fun to open boxes and dump the contents on the floor. I pick it up, he does it again. Repeat. It is beyond frustrating. And then my husband comes home and comments on the mess in the house. I would like to know how people maintain these lovely homes with children. I am finding it quite difficult. So this project is about finding a way to contain and lock up these mountain making, spreading, frustration causing bits and pieces.
It has taken me several days to settle on this cabinet. I wanted a larger space for all of the games, puzzles, play dough, and other stuff that seems to end up everywhere but in their respective boxes or containers. The larger spaces we have are not easy to lock, which is the whole point. So after much deliberating I have decided to make this space work, as is is lockable with one of these doohickeys --
These are pretty good. By the time the kids can get this off, I am hopeful they will be responsible enough with the stuff that we'll keep in here. (hopeful......)
This looks neat and tiny now....but I know there's ton more stuff that qualifies for this cabinet! We'll see what we can fit. Maybe having a couple of things out at a time is the way to go..... Anyhow, I pleased to have this done. =)
