We recently moved into a new house, and I've had to do some rethinking about layout, toy usage and storage, and decor.
Our Ostheimer figures were sitting in baskets when not in use and not adding as much beauty to our lives as they could, so last weekend I decided to put them to work instead!
The shelves on one side of the fireplace...
The top shelf is scenery and the tiniest figures that could pose a choking hazard to the baby. The next shelf is a woodland scene, the third is wild animals (not geographically accurate!), and the bottom is our barn and farm figures.
The boys can't reach these, so they function as a visible "toy library" and help us rotate our toys.

A seasonal display on the piano...
These are our Arctic/Antarctic figures and our festivity stand. The boys have it decked out with nearly every ornament we own, so it's currently a four-season stand, but we'll be changing it up for Lent soon!
I'm thinking of moving the figures from the playroom shelves to have knickknack spaces in the living room, but we'll see!
Full house tour coming soon!
