We've cleared out a guest room and are going to use it as a playroom for Natalie. Right now it is an empty carpeted room with tan walls. I'd rather not paint the walls but would like to decorate and get some new toys.
I have this cube organization and each cube has a different type of toys- Legos, blocks, small electronics, handheld, balls, stuffed animals, etc. it makes it easy for picking up and I can take one out at a time if I want.
Here is Cam's room/playroom. We bought an awesome kids table from Ikea, where it was puzzles on it. When he's older I fully expect him to sit there and do puzzles, look at books, and color. haha. I also love the toy bin thing we got... it organizes his toys really nice!
The other side
ETA: He also has a tent, but its too big and I only get it out every once in awhile. But he loves it already!!

Ours filled itself up with all the stuff Edie (and now Adeline) got as gifts. Remember as they get older the toys will get bigger. As in, they will probably get a play kitchen! That's the biggest thing in ours, besides the talbe and chair set. Oh, and the tent.

Also stalking this thread. Our "playroom" is in limbo, as we took apart the spare bed in it, and it's still sitting there in pieces waiting to be picked up. I need ideas as well.
Sprinkles, Ladybug, and Regina your playrooms look so fun! I think the cube organization would be great and that Ikea table is really cute. I like that she could use that as she gets older. I totally forgot about a play kitchen - great ideas! Looks like we'll be heading to IKEA soon...

We have cubes, a toddler table and a book shelf (oh and a train table which takes up a ton of room!). I would definitely go with something that flows because DS1 toys are much larger and more awkward than DS2... Not to mention we gave away some of DS1 toys to make room for DS2...
We actually put out play kitchen on our porch, it was great last summer (plastic). I would post a pic but really don't know how, I normally don't get to post much!
