Happy New Year! Wow, where did 2007 go? OK, so for the past few months I have been a bit busy to say the least, and now with the arrival of a new year its time to rearrange the furniture and organize all those areas I always say I will get to on that rainy day.

To avoid overwhelming myself, I will just start with the office. Be gone, stacks of magazines which have created a lovely aisle to my desk, you now have a home in these sweet rattan magazine holders by Iris!

Adios to all the tiny fabric samples I have collected, you will now be in the dark in these fun West Elm covered boxes.

Via Toy Box from Portland, Oregon, understands the need for storage! Mothers are always asking for better storage options for all the toys but also want something that is stylish! As does this designer!! Here it is!

These 15 x 15 x 15 boxes are made in fun pastel and primary colors. The Geometric shapes are really what makes them stand out as something different. They are also so much easier for kids to grab toys out of than lifting a heavy storage box top. There are so many ways to use them, the options are endless. You can be as creative as your imagination will let you…. a nightstand, storage under their platform bed or tucked neatly along a living room wall where it blends in with the décor.

I especially like the fact you can mix door cubes with the geometric cubes, sometimes you just want the toys hidden! The above “6 pack” sells for $329; it’s a great deal and you can customize the shapes and colors to fit within your rooms color scheme. Very fun for you and the tiny tots who will fill them up quickly!
