Intro and Question
Hi there. I mostly lurk and post occassionaly. But I need HELP big time. My 5 year old daughters room is a mess. its a decent sized room with a decent sized closet and I know I am not utilizing the space. She has tons of dolls, stuffed animals, barbies and all the other stuff 5 year olds have. I have one shelf in there that holds her books and some toys.
What have you found that worked for you. Bins? I got a toy box but that was a fail. the stuff gets forgotten and becomes a holder of junk. Also any idea on how to utilize the floor in her closet for more storage?
Any help appreciated.

Something like this

*I just googled that. I would not buy that exact one because I'm not familiar with the site and for something like that I'd rather see it in person first. They sell them at Target/Walmart though.
- Do you store all her clothes in her closet/dresser? Like, do you keep winter clothes in there? If not, I would suggest putting them in bins on her closet floor.
Or:
Shoe rack. I've had one in my closet since I was young and always used it.
Bookshelf. All kids I know have loads of books!
"A little nook" - Can you make the corner of the closet a little hideaway place? Place a bean bag on the floor, or big comfy pillows?
