[quote=Anonymous]it helps if you have more than one room on the ground floor. we just moved from a townhouse where there was an eat-in kitchen and just one other smallish room. That was living room and playroom and it was always a total mess. there was also nowhere to put any of the toys away, the room was just too small to have much storage.

If you can get enough storage, a couple tips on top of what others suggested--
(1) no barriers to clean up--make sure bins are open on top so kids can just throw things in. 
(2) when our kids were really little we put pictures on the outside so they knew what went where, even if they couldn't read. otherwise they would throw everything in the same bin and pieces to toys got lost and it was really chaotic.
(3) I think I've posted this one before, it's my favorite--if you can afford a robo vac, use it! And tell kids they have 5 mins to clean everything up off the floor otherwise the vacuum will come and might start sucking up their toys. that gets them going. :)
