BCG, do you have any type of "office" setup in your bedroom--computer, desk, etc.? If you do, you could probably get away with having a 2-drawer filing cabinet. You could say you use it for papers for school, etc., which you, indeed, might. But you also could stash some toys in it. Those can be locked. And they're pretty cheap at any of the discount stores. For years I've either worked out of my home or been a student. I'm usually living in a small place, so my "office" has been in my bedroom. Sometimes I've even used the 2-drawer filing cabinet as a night stand for setting a lamp on by the bed if I am really cramped for space. Then it's REALLY handy.
