"I have a problem... the family room is also the playing room for my daughter who's 10 months, so during the day it's full of...everything, all over the floor . I don't mind of course, we don't live in a museum. At night, I put everything in a corner, trying to organize the space for our evenings with our son who's 16 years old. Now that I saw your post on baskets, [here] I am thinking about using some of those to put the toys & co there at night. Would you have pictures to inspire me on that project?
Thank you"
This was my answer:
"Hi there Martine! Thanks for leaving your question. I definitely think the solution to your problem is to purchase a big trunk like basket with a lid on it. You can not only store all your daughter's toys but once it's closed you can add a cushion to fit the size and use it to sit down. Baskets are quite sturdy and will easily take the weight. I believe it will look great in your family playroom. I've seen pics of this kind of basket but give me a little time to put them together and as soon as I can I will post them."
So, I've put some pics together which I hope will give you some inspiration! Please let me know.

Here's a nice basket used as a side table, I don't think you can sit on it though!

Two medium sized baskets put together as a coffee table would be another solution.

I guess the smaller toys could fit in these baskets. Same goes for next pic.

There's room enough for big and small toys here.

How about some good old wood trunks? I think they look handsome and there is tons of room in them!
