Clever Nursery Organization Ideas

Our readers have come up with some pretty clever nursery organization ideas. You don’t truly realize how many things a baby amasses until after your first baby shower—so many cute, tiny and often difficult to store items. We thought we’d share some of these innovative nursery storage ideas.

We love this mom’s clever idea of repurposing a vintage wire basket to hold important diaper changing necessities and small trinkets in her son’s adorable nursery.

Baby shoes are both notoriously difficult to store and adorably cute. We love this idea that keeps them organized and on display.

Classic cubbies never get old for children’s storage. Sadly, the IKEA EXPEDIT (pictured below) is being phased out; luckily, its near lookalike, the KALLAX, will be available next month.

    These ideas are great, but I especially love the pegs on the side of the dresser. Would be great for getting an outfit ready or hanging a jacket to grab quickly when you need it. So cute!
