Pictures like that make me want to dejunk a room like NOW!! @Ann - Consider having her give you one or two old things for each new toy that is added. Our son-in-law consented to a larger purchase for our grandson after getting him to agree to purge his room (he had 15 stuffed Easter bunnies - that was just the rabbits!) It worked like a charm!

I like baskets. Land of Nod has sturdy, colorful plastic baskets. You can put them on shelves, hang them from hooks or line them against the wall. You can see through them enough to know what's in there but without visual clutter. I also like the canvas Rubbermaid boxes that come two in a pack. Ikea has a cute kid-friendly system with mix & match plastic bins (you get whatever combo you need). I have some photos of this stuff in use, one of which I just took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/piggyhawk/2436481405/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/piggyhawk/2185271065/ Only thing with the baskets is that the kids use them to carry toys all over the house ;) But they're lightweight and kids can get them out & find what they need easily.

I want to encourage my daughter's (age 6)creativity, but what a mess! And everything is "special"; she routinely pulls things out of the trash and/or recycling! What's a mother to do??
