    Instead of an aisle of shelves could you add a counter height bench in the middle? That way you’d have lots of extra storage underneath, could use the surface to package things up, and it would still seem nice and open as nothing would be added at eye level

      or a bunch of those ikea wheelie shelf things. idk what to call it haha

    • @pianofreak91
      @pianofreak91 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A tall table on wheels- could be roll away shelving but also a work space to pack on

    • @Marian-bj5qg
      @Marian-bj5qg 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are great candidates for running a toy store because you have lots of kids and have experience with things that kids actually like, and that have amazing play value

    Congratulations you and your hubby are amazing having such a lot of different educational toys/books. Everything looks so nice and organised. Amazing how you can find time to do all you with 8 children and being pregnant. (I’m watching this in Feb 2023 when Birdie is almost a year old) hope your business goes from strength to strength. 💐💐💐💐🥰☕️

    An extra isle in that corner would be nice if it had a table on top of it, so you could wrap and organize all the products and boxes.
    Loved your store! Love your family!

  • @jgr_lilli_
    @jgr_lilli_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I second the advice of the other comments and suggest you could build a little "packing island" table in the middle. It would free some shelf space from the packing materials and you could have a space to set out and pack the orders!

  • @jantrewitt4058
    @jantrewitt4058 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Such an interesting video, seeing how you run your business. As a former Preschool teacher in the US, I can honestly say that I love all of your products. Ever time you've shown your kids' playroom, I've imagined having these wonderful toys in my former classroom. I too love the Usborne books...they are wonderful! 💖

    Congratulations for your successful little business. Running it while simultaneously taking care of 8 - soon 9 - children sounds incredible to me. I'm french, and I noticed that a large part of your products are from french brands (Djeco, Janod) ; I was surprised. (I love these brands too, by the way.)

  • @margohealy575
    @margohealy575 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    You stick the nicest items. I was wondering if the middle could be a large counter top for packing your orders and stocking boxes, tape, files and still addition stock and then that could open up room on your stick shelves. And IKEA drawer for files, take scissors or even smaller stock items. Only a suggestions because what I see you doing is already soooo impressive.

  • @smallfootprint2961

    I always wanted 10 kids. Didn't happen, but am enjoying your growing family. So beautiful. Thanks for showing us around your business. It's wonderful that you're able to work it from home. The kids and work are all integrated. Wish I'd have figured that out when I needed to go to work, and had kids at home. Looking forward to seeing all about Christmas in your home, and the new addition. Be well.

You are very brave raising that many children and run your business 👏 🙌. I would of loved to run a business but with being a single Mom raising just 3 daughters I couldn't make it work with insurance and losing money the first few years possibly. I just love your family. You show us a glimpse of your lives and we can't wait for the next video.

  • @AL-it6ru
    @AL-it6ru 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My idea is it would be great storage if you guys put in some kind of low line storage/workbench I’m the centre of the room.
    That way there is more storage, a work bench you wrap orders or extra storage on top, can still move around the room and can still have great energy flow, air and light.

  • @HenleyCrichlow
    @HenleyCrichlow 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    For the middle of the room you could get a rolling table with storage underneath. Maybe. Cause then it keeps the open feeling by not being tall and cluttered and if it has drawers or something underneath you can keep smaller bits and pieces.

I seen the room re-dos...and was mesmerized by yours kids toys, clothes and bedding. I'm expecting my first grandkid (s) ...(first ultrasound showed 3 sacs). But waiting for second ultrasound. I would absolutely LOVE ❤️ some of your products. They love elephants, stars and moons and the colors tan , and sage and darker green. ✨️. I'm in the USA. Funny, when I was a kid I was always drawn to want to visit Australia some day. Well, I never got the chance. I got alot of autoimmune diseases, and raised up a non verbal autistic child to fully verbal, extremely articulate, high honor roll grad...drives a car..now expecting his baby!!! (Married of course)! If you have some suggestions for newborns in those deco/colors please send me a PM. Oh, penguins 🐧 also. Love getting to know your cute family. Blessings from Chicago IL USA.
