You all remember the great playroom purge a few weeks back?
We’ve had some great shelving in there since we finished our basement 5 or 6 years ago…
Super old crappy picture alert:
but the fabric bins were just not working out for us. I had little kids when I bought them, and only one boy old enough to play with toys. Since that time I’ve discovered something: Those cloth bins do not hold up to little boys…at least not mine. We had an incident with scissors where some of the handles were snipped Several others were missing bottoms. Pretty much all of them were bent in weird places. And, there was no way to label them.
So, here’s my industrial boy friendly organization solution:
PAINT BUCKETS!
I found these buckets at Lowe’s in the paint department. They’re $6.57 each, so not a whole lot more expensive than the cloth bins. They fit perfectly in my shelving (Pottery Barn Kids) and would also fit in ClosetMaid or IKEA stuff as well…anything where the holes are 12” X 12” or larger.
I also wanted my buckets labeled, and I wanted them labeled in a way that could be changed, because in a year or two we’ll be out of the Little People phase and have 5 buckets of Legos. I thought about vinyl, but I wanted it to be easier to change than that. My solution?
Chalkboard paint.
I traced an oval onto some contact paper and then cut it out, leaving the edges in tact.
Here’s my oval template, but really…it’s just an oval. Find something and trace it. 
I applied the contact paper to the buckets as a stencil. It’s a little bit tricky because of the slope of the bucket, but go slowly and make sure to seal the edges tightly.
DO NOT SKIP THIS NEXT STEP:
Prime the bucket with primer for metal. If you don’t, the paint will peel right off.
Apply 2 or 3 thin coats of chalkboard paint. I like to alternate between vertical and horizontal coats to minimize brush lines.
Carefully remove your stencil and then label your buckets as desired.
Easy and customizable!
Random questions I always get asked when I post pictures of my playroom:
What color is your paint?
It’s called Apple 2 and I got it at Lowe’s. It’s pretty much my favorite light green ever. I used Apple 1 in another room in the house, even.
Are those rain gutters?
Yes. Yes they are. I put them up in 2006 when we finished the basement and they’ve held up beautifully. I saw the idea originally in Family Fun (see here). They’re a great way to have the books visible and accessible to my kids and they made great use of an awkward spot behind the door.
And now for the good stuff:

wow rain shutter book shelves! Now there is a GREAT idea. I love all things galvanized

Those buckets are a great idea!
But the rain gutters?? I literally just said “That is BLEEPing awesome” Out Loud. I didn’t say bleep.
Anyway, I have an office/craft room that is pathetically un-organized and needs help!
LOVE the buckets! They look great! Gosh…to pick a room…basement bedroom needs it the most. My daughter will be down there for the summers when she’s not up at college. Let’s just say it wasn’t really built for a permanant resident!

What great ideas! We just bought our first house and its a fixer upper built in the 50s. It is only 900 sq. Ft. So organization is a must! I would love to do something fabulous in the back room which is where we enter the house and where our laundry is located. $100 would be a great jump start and I love lowes!
My boys room needs some HELP! Loving your ideas from lowes!
My craft room could use a lot of help. I’ve got so much stuff jumbled together in drawers and piles. It would be nice to sort it all out and have it neatly divided.
I have been doing tons of organizing projects on every room of our home, but the one room that could use the most help is our game room. There is no sense of organization whatsoever in that room right now (except that I did get the toys sorted into shoe boxes and bins)…now I need some shelving to put all the toys on, some new lighting to brighten up the room, and some new carpet to replace the old, very stained carpet. I would love to win a gift card to Lowes!

I’m remaking a chandelier and a place to hang coats. I’d love to win this.
I want to win! Pick me! My office and toy room (and bedroom for that matter) REALLY need help! I have a wishlist Specifically for Lowes! (Seriously, a Lowes wishlist–LOVE that place!)
We are getting ready to move so i will have a lot of organizational projects on my hands. My main concern will be my girls’ bedroom – i will have to make it work for 6 yo and 1 yo at the same time, that will be interesting
Everyroom in my house could use a good martha stewart-ing, but if I have to choose a starting point it would probably be my boys’ bedroom!!!

The place that I would organize would be my kitchen (cupboards) ! I have several that could use seperators and organizers to keep apart all the Corningware and Pyrex lids, etc
Please save my home office!
My closet needs some help indeed! I even put a lock latch on it so the kids wont open it, because it scares me to look inside. I am in and out in no time, then lock it up. Sounds kinda scary.
I need some desperate help in my playroom! Thanks Lowe’s!
My sewing area could really use some Lowes Magic!

I’d love to finally organize my attic; we have a bungalow and the attic is massive and stores all that “too good to chuck, but no place to put it” stuff. I have all my sewing and craft things in there as well as books, important papers, seasonal decorations, out-of-season clothes and old furniture.

My two year old son’s room is in desperate need of organization. The biggest problem is actually the smallest– his room is teeny tiny and need to use every square inch of what’s available. Just need to find ways to be more efficient in the space that’s there. Thanks!
My laundry room needs major help right now in the organization department.
Love the buckets by the way!
Our Boys room could really use some organization and a Lowes gift card would definitely help!!!

Uh, I have to pick one room? LOL! I would say it is a toss up between my craft room and our loft/playroom. My craft room is my current project and I think with a few more things, it will be done. Our loft is always changing. I just can’t figure out what works.
Our garage needs a complete makeover with shelves etc. Is that a room? I hope so.
My whole house pretty much needs organizational help, but my office are, probably needs the most!
My basement could use some organizational Lowe’s love. Right now, it is the Bermuda Triangle of my house, and I just know something really, really important is going to get eaten by it someday.
my playroom is decent but my office could REALLY use some help.
I already had liked Lowes on FB before today
My master bath needs SERIOUS Lowes organization ! I’m planning on hitting it hard (possibly with a sledgehammer) in the VERY near future!
Our kids rooms definitely need some organizational help, to many toys not enough storage, and we need to make room for new baby coming in early July.
I liked Lowe’s Creative Ideas as well!!!
Don’t you just love Lowes? My husband and I remodeled 3 homes in the last 10 years. He was a contractor, but used to send me in with a laundry list of items while he worked, because, let’s face it, I’m better at shopping. At Lowes, I always had GREAT service – I could find one person to help me locate each item in the store and they loaded it into the truck! We’re ready to update our home again, and winning this would sure be a bonus!
I desperately need to organize my office! I can’t walk through it….

My new craft/sewing room needs some major organizational help! I love having so much room to work but without any organization it’s turning into a huge mess. To start with, I’d put one of those shelving systems in each closet.

I LOVE both of these ideas! My entire house needs organizing. But mostly my guest room which I’m hoping can become a guest/craft/office space! Thanks for the great tips.
I would re-do our playroom. As our kids are getting older we different storage now. My sewing area is also in the room.
Let’s face it – I need help in every room in our house, but especially the play room!!! I just cannot figure out a system that works for us. I think getting rid of 2/3rds of the toys would help, but I just can’t bring myself to do it! Anyway, thanks for the giveaway! Your playroom is amazing, and the bucket idea is nothing short of brilliant.

My entire house could use some organization help
My basement needs the most organization at the moment! We are ( well my hubby is LOL) in a dash for time trying to make sure everything is finished before the birth of our first baby in the begining of March. Having the basement completed will allow us to have so much more room which we are going to need with the ever growing pile of stuff for the little one!!
I wish I had a play room, but I don’t. So my oldest daughter’s room is where all the toys and books live for our two (soon to be three) kiddos. Her room desperately needs help. Its the one room I just can’t get a handle on (there is pretty much no organization in there right now). I would love the help!
The kitchen needs order. The kitchen is chaos.
I need fabric and sewing storage solutions in the bedroom.

Ive always wanted to do that rain gutter book shelf thing, now that my son loves to read i think its the perfect time to do it especially since were going to start on his big boy room at the end of February when he turns 3! I could totally use Lowe’s help!
My “office/hope to make it into a craft room… again” is really what could use the organizational help from Lowe’s. Does the gift card come with a team of organizers, too? Haha! Just kidding!
I have rain gutter book shelves and I love them. I’m trying to think of a room in my house that *doesn’t* need a little organization love from Lowe’s…nope, can’t think of one. But most likely, I’d use the gift card for painting the bathroom or something almost as fun.
My garage needs a lot of organization .

The parlor needs help! You know, that useless room at the front of your house that in Victorian novels, people were always having their tea served, with milk, and asked:
” One lump, or two”?
My parlor needs to get up to date and turn into a great library with shelves and comfy chairs, instead of being that barren wasteland where the uncomfortable furniture lives and the cats claw on lonely said furniture.

My living room could definitely use some organization! Thanks so much!

The kids’ bedrooms need lots and lots of organization help. And, I want to make some of those rain gutter bookshelves when we finish our basement, for sure!

Our tv room has become our grandson’s playroom since he came to live with us. It could definitely use some cool storage!

Oy! My master bedroom closet… When I first moved in, the closet seemed so large to me I felt it could almost be another bedroom, albeit a small one:) Now I can only get about 1/3 of the way in! haha… Would love to win the card and see what the back of my closet looks like. Thanks for the chance !

Our daughters’ room needs some serious help!! It’s always so unorganized due to shelving/storage shortage…Can’t afford a whole new storage unit or some kind of organization system
It’s always such a mess!
I LOVE the book shelves! I am thinking of doing that for my kids. Their book shelf is always a mess! I also like the color of that room! The buckets really go with the rest of the room…It’s such a cute idea!
Lowes is my favorite store, I just loved your shelves, gonna get me some today….and your labels…..that is such a cool idea…you have lots of thoses…..thanks,,oh, my studio need to be purged and painted and redone I sure could use that gift card from Lowes…..

Love the bucket storage! My sewing room really needs so help! These buckets would work very well for sorting my fabric scraps by color. They would look so sweet and functional lined up on a shelf. Thank you for the great ideas! And thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card…that surely would come in very handy. Have a blessed day!
I’ve also liked Lowes Creative Ideas on Facebook. To me, they are just like a candy store…browsing is so much fun!

This is a great giveaway for your crafty followers!!!! I follow by email!!!! Our newly remodeled bathroom needs to be finished…ran out of budget money. There is no wall cabinet over toilet, no toilet paper or towel hjolders, no heater cover……this $100 would really help!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the chance! Fingers crossed!!!
Ironically, our playroom is in need of desperate help. Thank you!
We are currently building a bedroom for baby #3, like framing walls,etc. So,this space is already getting some lowe’s help but some extra lowe’s help would be nice.
We desperately need to create a playroom for my 16 month old and this would help out a ton!
WOW! Those paint containers look awesome! I’d say either my closet or sewing room need some help from Lowe’s!
We moved a year ago and my house still needs ALOT of work. I would really like to work on my craft room (shared with the playroom). It is a mess in there and every time I go to do a project, I am totally uninspired by the mess. So, yes, my craft room.

Oddly enough, it’s my basement that needs a big boost of help.

My master bath desprately needs some organization. Or the kids’ playroom. We also use fabric bins and they are sad looking after my two boys use them!

My 3 year-old’s room needs organization SO badly!

My daughter’s playroom could really use some help. Seriously looks like a toy tornado tore through there!!
Char the playroom looks great. I LOVE the painted bucket idea – I could use that, and Lowe’s organizational help – to redo our garage/man cave!! (Thats my husband and older son’s “playroom”)
every one of my rooms needs better organization. So to begin I could use some help with the basement storage area or the bedroom.
Oh, boy, it’s a toss up for me between my craft/sun/play room and the kid’s rooms. They all need some serious Lowe’s love. By the way, I’m a diehard Lowe’s fan from WAY back, too. I even had a comment published in one of their circulars in 1994. I will drive out of my way, right past the “orange place that shall not be named”, in order to get to Lowe’s! LOL

Our master bedroom has really taken a back seat to the rest of our apartment (mostly because it’s the one place where no one sees but me & my husband)! I really, really need to turn it into a more relaxing room! We need it
My sewing/craft rooms needs some Lowe’s Love!
I would love a Lowe’s gift card! We are finishing our basement!

I am currently redoing our basement (craft room/playroom). But I also REALLY need to reorganize my master closet. $100 to Lowe’s would certainly help!
Cute organizing ideas. Remodeling the basement…I could use some free money from Lowes

Would love the giftcard. Painting my kitchen soon!
Definitely my master bedroom, it needs paint, organization, etc. you name it!
I would love the gift card! We recently moved and would like to update a few areas of the house.
Our downstairs family room needs the most help. It’s a toy disaster!
I love your storage solutions. I need a lot of help in my sewing room.

My kids’ toy closet could sure use some organizational help from Lowes right now!!!
Oh pick me!! My bedroom needs some serious help!!
I love the bucket idea for my little boys toys. We have one bucket that sits on the floor now, and he loves to tip it over and even chew on it (he’s teething, and it makes me cringe just thinking about it). Our livingroom/play room needs a Lowes storage make over. My craft room could use a little help too
We are moving into a small small small home in a few months, and honestly every room of the place is going to have to be redone!! LOL I’ll certainly need amazingly awesome storage ideas for the kiddies’ stuff! Thanks for the contest!
Liked the Lowes page!
My craft room for sure! There’s just cardboard boxes of things sitting in there since we moved in back in May!
Every room in my house needs organizational help. But, the area I’m concentrating on is the garage.
My basement for sure!! Need to declutter and organize. I LOVE your bucket idea!!
Our bonus room/playrom needs the most help right now. I’m in the process of decluttering and need some good organizational pieces and tools to finish the job.
Love all the buckets for your shelving unit!

Wow! My entire house could benefit from some organization. Mostly though, we’re finishing our basement and I could sure use that gift card to organize my new guest bedroom/office/sewing space!
My 5yo’s room needs organizing in the worse way.
He has the smallest room but the most stuff…go figure!
My son’s closet. Games, toys, legos, everything is everywhere!
We have so very many spaces that need organizing, but next on the list is the bathrooms – Master and Kids. I hairbows everywhere, am missing a towel rod, and going crazy.
My room’s probably the one that needs the most organization done to it. I don’t have a craft room of my own, so my craft supplies are all piled up in different places in my room.
I “liked” Lowe’s Creative Ideas on Facebook.
I love the buckets! Great idea. I’d have a hard time saying which room is most in need of a makeover – we’re building a house and already have 1000 projects in mind for once it’s complete. I’d say my new sewing/craft studio will be my most “make-over worthy” room. Can’t wait!
… and I liked them on FB. : )
Son #2 has model trains~~lots and lots of them. We need to store them in such a way that he can take them off to train club displays, and to display some at home, and still play with them at home.
What perfect timing! We’re trying to finish up a little makeover in my 5-year-old daughter’s bedroom, and a little help from Lowe’s would go a long ways! Thanks for the giveaway!
cool, i want to be craftier.
My playroom/craft room definitely needs organizational help. We are just getting ready to move into a new house and I have no idea how I’m going to organize this one room that is going to be both the kids’ playroom and school room plus my craft room.
Without a doubt, my office/craft room need some seeeeerious help in the organization department! $100 from Lowes would be AWESOME!!
I’d love to use the gift card to make some shelving in my toy room and get it more organized!!!

My kiddos playroom could use a lot of help – barbie/princess overload.
My garage needs so much help! We have an old falling down shelving unit that I’m afraid to put anything on – not sure why we still keep it but it’s there. Plus so much stuff that can use organizing. Another room that can use major help is my craft room/ office. I’m afraid to open the closet in there. I only do to shove more stuff inside that I can’t find a home for.

I have been trying to organize my whole house, living room, kitchen, master bedroom and kids room for months now. Should have just done one room at a time. But the most needed is my Living room.
I have a storage closet hat, after I moved, I crammed everything in there that I couldn’t find a place for. It’s definitely a disaster and needs organization. As do my kitchen cabinets
My bathroom needs a few updates! We love Lowes!

The question should really be, “Which room DOESN’T need a Lowe’s card makeover!!??” But, we desperately need paint on the wall in our kitchen/breakfast nook!! Love the bucket idea- and might just use it in my classroom!!
Liked “Lowe’s Creative Ideas” on FB for an additional entry….fingers crossed!!
We are in the process of getting a house…. so that gift card could go a long way!!!
I love the gutter idea!!! I’m going to try that in my craft room. By the way, my craft room needs a makeover in a major way!!!! Too much stuff and no where to put it:(

I <3 Lowe's! And I liked their page, too!
I think every single room in my house needs some organizing help, but I would have to start with the bathroom closets!
Since my closet, the only closet in the whole house, is just a big empty crap catcher I believe it could use an intervention.

I love the paint buckets! You know you can also use black contact paper instead of the paint? It will take chalk, although I prefer Chalk markers (the writing will not smear but removes easily with a wet cloth).
Love your room – any room in my house could use a Lowe’s card although storage in the garage would be my first step – I need some organization!

As for my house – the pantry needs some Lowes lovin’! I die every time I open the door, it’s such a cluster. Shelving would cure most of the issues!

I’m such a goof I posted this same comment on another post of yours. Here we go again . I really want to win this! Every room in my house needs a Lowe’s intervention, however the room that I dare not show people is my master bath. It’s got carpeting in there people! Carpeting!!!!

Cute buckets! My bedroom could use some help…I hate our closets and lack of dressers (I use some of those plastic storage drawer things and they suck!). Thanks for the chance at some help!
Surely you’re not really reading still? If I won a gift card for Lowes, I’d use it to buy shelving for my garage.
After I did a happy dance, of course.
We need to organize the whole house but most importantly our boys’ room! They are sharing a room and we need more storage for their clothes and toys! I have been to Lowes so many times looking at the closet organizing shelves!
My room is the one that is in need of MUCH help!
My boys room needs help and the office!!
My husband and I both started working from home recently. Our office NEEDS a make-over right now.
