The back of my pantry is my favorite place to display art too. I love that it's usually seasonal- so I try to swap it out monthly (and photograph the display each month as a keepsake). Sometimes Simple Is Best: Displaying Children's Artwork Design*Sponge |

My daughter's room is very pink, and very princessy, and I don't think that it in any way shapes who she is or what she is going to grow up to be. When she outgrows the "phase" or whatever, she's left with a room that still has lots of character and color- just minus the dolls. I see no problem with indulging a child in a collection- whether it be something gender neutral and empowering, or "frivilous" like princesses. I love that her room is filled with what she loves, and so does she. Here's her room: Girlie-Girl Culture At Home |

We also use hooks and a bench. Works great for now in a room that lacks any other option! Here's what our space looks like: Practical Tips for Organizing Mud Rooms & Entryways |

I'm 100% in favor of the boxes. And the way that I keep the space kid friendly while maintaining adult sanity is to store the sharp or super messy stuff on higher shelves :) Smart Storage Ideas for Creative Supplies |

Amazing. Especially the 3rd! As I try to figure out where exactly to put my ideal workspace, I've settled for at least creating one for my kids and their crazy crafting projects. When they clean up their stuff, it doubles pretty nicely as a buffet table for entertaining, and triples as a place to sit with the laptop if the dining room table is otherwise occupied.

I saw that melted crayon art (3rd picture), on Pinterest and was just dying to try it- but I decided to put my own twist on it...and it turned out perfectly for the space that I had in mind. Check it out and the tutorial here: 3 Kids Crafts to Make with Broken Crayons Friday Craft Fix |

I find that painter's tape is the best because it peels off easily with no residue. Add some wooden or duplo blocks to build a city near your roads, and you have hours of entertainment! How Tape Can Be The Best Toy Ever an-magritt |

I absolutely love how the hanging stuff was moved UP and the shelves were used down low. Makes so much more sense that way! Now you've got me thinking about my hall closet... Setting Up Home: Making the Most of Closets |

I love this! I did a little etsy searching awhile back to see what other "adult" alternatives there were to the dorm door dry erase board and found a few others that are cute too:

Very cute!! I really like how you could move this from room to room if you re-arrange. Another idea- hooks on the wall. check it out: Clever, DIY Storage for Dress Up Clothes |

I LOVE the all white one with the little ladybug boots :) We don't have a mudroom either- but I ended up creating my own in our entryway...it works almost as well. See it here if you are curious: Mudrooms by LDa Architecture & Interiors Firm Profile |

Just re worked my "mudroom" which happens to be my front hallway. Got everything that I needed for around $30 at Target :)
