Living with a lot of people means you’re also living with clutter. It just builds up — even if you’re not a maximalist like me. 😉
My solution?
BASKETS
I might have a bit of a basket problem, tbh.
I’ve embraced that at this stage in my life, toys are part of the home aesthetic. I know that one day, I’ll look around and wish there were toys on the floor, so I accept it with my whole heart.

It started with my daughter’s toys. The two baskets I got for the living room quickly overflowed, though, which actually made things look more cluttered, imo (my solution for that further down).

This kid has a lot of toys but it isn’t entirely her mom and dad’s fault.
When you have a baby (especially one as cute as mine 😏) people start bringing toys every time they see you or visit, it just happens!
Anyway, back to baskets.

I’m married to a recovering clutter bug.
You can track his movements throughout the house based on the trail of items left on counters and floors.
Until a few weeks ago his bedside table was…atrocious.
Upon it sat a mountain of the miscellaneous: remote controls, books, snacks, cups, glasses, etc. etc. etc.
My solution was this cute lil basket! Now, instead of me worrying about putting the items back constantly, they’re thrown in here so I don’t have to look at them!
It has honestly done wonders for my peace in our room.
I basket up toys, stuffies, piles of books the toddler pulls from at will, blankets…
I found this perfect toy chest at Goodwill to better store my toddler’s plethora of toys. Love that I can just toss things in there willy nilly and close the lid. It’s also an extra seating option, and has wheels for easy moving!
Kinda wish I could put my LIFE in a basket, ugh, sounds so cozy.

I think this vintage tulip lamp is better suited here anyway, it was getting lost in the plants in the old spot. Here, it will get the attention it deserves!
