Recently I put a shout out on OurKidsMom’s Facebook wall for questions they would like to ask HGTV’s Design on a Dime host Kelly Edwards in regards to organization and kids rooms. I had a couple of people chime in… one in particular mentioned they would like to hear her speak about : Anything about storage and organization!

It such a great interview..I really appreciate it thanks for sharing with us..
I liked the idea with the storage locker and the wall tracks are great going on the wall
The storage locker is a GREAT idea!
I like the idea of using older furniture for modern solutions, especially the chalk board paint on the old furniture for double storage and art center.
I like that the wall tracks are ready to play without the clutter on the floor.
storage loskers is a great idea
Wall tracks keep things off the floor so they don’t need to be put away like other toys.
I like the idea of painting furniture and turning it into an art station.
I liked putting the chalk board paint on an old piece to use for storage and use for messages and play.
I also liked the storage locker idea and turning the closets into a chalkboard
I like the idea of a loft bed with storage underneath.
I like the idea of the storage lockers
I think her comment about finding storage that is useful for the long term was pretty useful.
the wall tracks are ready to play without the clutter on the floor
I learned that you can create chalk boards on cupboards
I LOVE the idea of the track on the wall
I love the crendenza idea. I love anything that ‘grows’ with you
I like the idea of the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks. Much better than stepping on toys on the floor. Some of them really hurt. I already have a loft bed for my kids and it gives them a lot more space to play in their room.
I would LOVE to find a credenza for my daughters room! I love her tips on re-using or getting pieces from thrift stores to make more storage… and turning an armoire into an art station!
Loft beds are great for storage, I plan on getting them for our boys, when we get a house.

i like that the tracks go on the wall so you don’t have to have tracks covering the floor!
i think she is really on to something with crendenza idea
I like the storage locker
i love the idea of using storage lockers, something i am soon going to redecorate my youngest 2 sons room using a sports theme and i think storage lockers would be perfect!
I liked that she said to get the toys off the floor…hence why i LOVE the wall tracks. That is what I want to get my 3 year old for his birthday.
I like how she said you should pick timeless pieces, this helps save on a budget and helps children grow into their rooms.
So clever for the tracks to be on the wall vs the floor. On the floor kids trip over them or worse…break them. This is wicked!
Some great ideals for storage, I really like the hot wheels wall tracks, that is neat.
thanks for the givaway

I like the idea of storage lockers
I like the idea of using “real” furniture and not just designated kid furniture in kids’ rooms!
I like the sotrage locker idea.

Use furniture for storage that can hide the clutter, i.e. a cradenza
Invest in storage pieces that will look good forever and that you don’t have to keep buying over and over.
Great tip!
I liked seeing the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks set up in the video and the kid playing with it. What a great concept!
she suggests a loft bed because you can store things underneath it
