Have you thought about shopping in the kitchen aisle for kids rooms? Here are a few ideas I gathered showing ingenuity using kitchen accessories in kids spaces. How about using a magnetic knife holder (without the knives) as a
car storage strip holder
? I would bet this is an easy way to get kids to put away those magnetic cars. Heck, I would make sure all the kids play cars were magnetic...

covered in ribbon - used to hold art (also notice the curtain rods holding buckets full of art supplies).
This is none other than Bekvam
spice racks from Ikea (only $3.99). Perfect for a small wall - each one measures 16.5 inches long. Bekvam
spice racks
come in the natural color only - these bright colored spice racks were painted.
Painted spoons (chalky milk paint) hung on a wall sure makes a sweet statement!
Baking sheets painted pink turn into a sweet magnetic memo board. The Dollar store is the perfect place to purchase baking sheets; make sure to buy nonstick or else it will be difficult getting the paint to "stick".
Rolling pins
as jewelry holders... who woulda thought???
The color combination of apple green and bright cherry red are the colors of my laundry room - red cabinets with apple green walls. Images from here.
