spoiled with space

Our house in Washington had three bedrooms and so we had the girls in one and the toy room (obviously the other was Dan and mine) and I LOVED having a toy room...the toys were contained in that room and their room was always clean. This house here has 4 bedrooms and is quite bigger but my compulsive buying of furniture (it so doesn't help when your husband is gone and he can't say "no") and then the two living rooms...I have now the girls in one room, a toy room, an office, and then Dan and my room. So now I'm like a little bit freaking out since I'm now in baby mode and have to turn the toy room into the baby room. This means toys in the girls room. It would be ok but they have a kitchen, this ridiculously huge horse that still freaks me out to this day when I walk by and it "neighs" at me, a tea table and a doll house. WHERE AM I GOING TO PUT ALL THIS STUFF???!!! And the thing is, I just went through their stuff before Christmas and got rid of two huge black bags full of stuff. So I'm dreading the idea I'm going to have to bring stuff down to the TV room. It does give me another excuse to buy some more furniture but seriously, we are going to have to buy one massive house by the time we get back to the states (I still have a living room set in storage along with a whole bunch of other things) with all this furniture we are accumulating. Anyways...so Hannah and I went to IKEA today and we bought some kids storage bins and holders thinking I will put them in the closet. I probably subconsciously didn't get every thing I needed so I can make another trip down there. So my evening has consisted of putting the two I bought together and trying to organize their HUGE mess of toys. ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH to toys! Like I don't have a huge load of laundry to do as well...

I never looked but is the study larger than the girls room? You could always switch them.

Or you could make the bird room the toy room. Who knows-you have so many possibilities! But you are such a great decorator-I'm sure that it will look amazing no matter what you do!
