Today on the blog is nursery organization. This was by far my absolute favorite part of nesting! Anyone who knows me knows my love for all things organizing and OCD and my son's room is likely the truest reflection of my addiction. There is literally a place for everything and since he's not old enough to dress and bathe himself it actually stays clean :-)
A little background about my sons room, it was also my room growing up so it has a lot of great memories :-). It may no longer have the bright pink carpet my mom let me pick out when I was 6 or the suspended hammock filled with stuffed animals but it's still got some character from my childhood that makes me smile to see Jackson playing in it!
Okay so I'm going to start with my favorite storage space in the room and those are these 4 cream boxes I got from Ikea for $17 each. I love them and they fit perfectly in this sofa table we used as an alternative for the Expedit they no longer make. It ended up fitting perfectly in the room and we used the top for book storage. I can see it transitioning nicely into his "big boy room" one day.

Dresser Drawer Organization
His dresser is also from Ikea. It was once in the guest room and because I loved the stain it became inspiration for the nursery. Its drawers are very spacious and I love the yellow stripes on the inside. In the top drawer I keep changing and daily necessities in drawer organizers from Target. The second drawer houses pj's, onesie's and sweats.
Closet Organization
My OCD really comes in handy with our smaller closets, this one included. A friend gave me a tip to organize clothes starting from newborn to 9 months first and then swapping out larger sizes as they are outgrown. I also used little hangers that separated his clothes from newborn, 0 to 3 months, 3-6, 6-9 and so forth. You can make your own or purchase from places like Buy Buy Baby, Etsy or similar. I still use them and they go up to 2T. Pictured below are sizes 3 and 4 shoes and clothes sizes 9 to 18 months.
On the bottom of the closet is the Kallax shelving unit from Ikea with some random storage from home goods (gray bins with handles) and target (blue bins). In the gray bins I keep bibs, burp cloths and like items in one, and hats, socks and like accessories in the other. The blue bins store current size diapers and wipes.
Paperwork Billfold
This was one of the best gifts I got at my baby shower, so much so that I make them for every shower I go to lol. It has 8 categories including birth certificate and social security card, keepsakes, milestones, pediatricians visits, immunization records, insurance paperwork, receipts and warranties, and manuals. I keep it right at the top of the closet and absolutely love it (thanks Jas!)
Toy Storage
Lastly are random bins around the room I use to keep small toys (larger toys I keep downstairs in his play space). My kid likes to push them over to play with the toys :-)
I'd love to hear about your nursery organizing tips or thoughts so please share in the comments! I also plan to do a post soon on how to make the paperwork billfold :-)
Thanks for reading!
