Any recommendations? pictures?
I've looked on Walmart and Target's websites and I don't know whether to get a nice wood toy chest or a little tikes plastic one.
Thanks!
Answer
I agree with New Momma. For a family/entertaining area, a wood chest would look nicer.
My daughter's room had a nice wooden chest that went with her bedroom set. I figured when she outgrew toys, it would be good for storage or maybe a hope chest. It turned out to be great for storing out-of-season clothes, blankets etc.
My son's room had a particle board toy chest. It had sliding doors painted with green chalkboard paint, and went with the Ninja Turtle theme he had in his room at the time. We couldn't really repurpose it when he grew, but it was relatively inexpensive and he loved it.
I'll give you a tip I learned from my son. Small action figures and Hot Wheels will always find their way to the bottom of the toy chest. My son had to take everything out to find them. For Christmas the next year, he asked me for something easier to put small things in to keep them organized. I came across a small 3-tier stacking bin on wheels. It was in bright, primary colors, and he could roll it in and out of his closet to save space in his small room. He could put Hot Wheels in one bin, action figures in another, and Legos in the other. It worked perfectly, and he loved it! So consider some sort of bin system if your child has small toys like these.
Other than that, it's just a matter of preference, and what works with your decor and household. Little Tykes is undeniably durable, and made for kids, so it would work well. Any chest will serve the purpose, just make sure the lid is not too heavy, is hinged in such a way so that it won't slam shut on little fingers or pinch them, and stays open while they are rooting around in there. Your child's toys are likely to outgrow the toy bin, so don't be afraid to repurpose plastic laundry baskets for the excess. They are lightweight, work magnificently, can be easily carried from room-to-room, and shoved into a closet out of sight when not in use.
Hope these suggestions help!

Where can I get cheap things to decorate my sons room?
Consentida
Ok I'm moving to a new apartment and my son is going to finally get his own bedroom. He just turned 4 years old and I have no idea where to look for cheap things to decorate his room. His favorite characters are disney cars and thomas the train..me and my husband are on a budget...and we all know disney cars and thomas are not cheap. so any ideas?
Answer
I would avoid the actual Disney charecter stuff. Not only is it a little expensive, there is a good change he'll complain it is too babyish in two years. Plus, he already had toys with those charecters.
To save money, get stuff you could see in an 8 year old's room.
Bedding I think works for a 4 year old and an older boy:

For wall art, posters make a big impression. I reccomend picking posters that will fit in frames the same color as the furniture. That way later on you can just change the posters.
If the furniture is dark brown in his room, you can get this frame set for $30 http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=16566594&RN=88 You could get these:
