Board Game Organization - Treehouse Threads

Organization hacks are probably one of my favorite things to search for online. A few weeks ago, my friend sent me this viral post from Hello Happy Home that tackled board game organization. The post was shared by Marie Kondo, the queen of organized-clutter-free living. I set off to find the right pieces to recreate this genius board game organization idea.

The media cabinet where our board games were was supposed to have a shelf. However, we had to remove the shelf to fit all the board games. While the board games did stack up nicely in the cabinet, when the kids wanted a game they would pull them out from the bottom and make a mess.

Here are some items to help you recreate this board game organization hack: I found this basket and these mesh bags. The mesh bags fit perfectly in the basket and they are big enough to accommodate bulky board games. Also, this is my favorite labeler. I use it to label lunch boxes and water bottles. The labels hold up even in the wash. While there are some negative reviews about how much tape it wastes…the trick to this is to type out everything in one entry and cut them with scissors.

I was able to fit eight mesh bags in the basket. I could probably fit a couple more if needed. Some people remove the boards and store them separately, but that is a recipe for missing game pieces in this house. That is why I kept some of the larger games like Candy Land and Operation in their original boxes. We lost the box for Jenga a long time ago so I grabbed these baskets that I had found at the Target dollar section and used them to store those pieces and card games.
