Toy Storage

A friend of mine e-mailed me this week asking me for recommendations for toy storage units for her daughter's playroom. She was not interested in using lined or plastic baskets in a shelving unit and did not want anything that looked like it was from Pottery Barn or Ikea (not that there is anything wrong with those wonderful stores). But she is looking for a piece with more "character". Here are a few of the examples that I sent to her:

Stella Stackable storage cubes by Q Collection Junior

Little Twin Cub by Small Factory

(it can even hold 12" vinyl records for your use after the kids are done with it!)

Stackable Library by Duc Duc with felt seating

Andie Bookcase with storage bins by Newport Cottages

Chicken Coop Storage Units from Sundance Catalog

The Toy Store unit by Oeuf

Blu Cubbie in Wheat by Bratt Decor

Design your own stackable storage boxes from Via Toy Box

(as seen on Project Nursery)

Then for a truly customizable wall unit, Thea Segal Designs makes wonderful custom designed units that can be shipped anywhere in the US.
