Nursery Organization

I'm having a hard time organizing my nursery. It's a big room so space isn't an issue.

In the changing table I have:
-diapers in the tall side door storage area
-boxed wipes and changing pad covers/liners in the top drawer
-lotions/buttpaste/bath time stuff, wash cloths & some receiving blankets in the middle drawer
-bottom drawer is full of refill wipes

The tall dresser has 5 drawers. So far top down:
-socks/booties sleep gowns, hats/mittens
-empty but plan on onesies/side snap shirts/body suits/pants
-Smaller blankets
-empty
-empty

I'm waiting on a bookshelf to get here for the closet so I can put away all the later clothes.

I'm not sure where to keep burp cloths/receiving blankets. I have them all folded in a small/medium clear Rubbermaid container currently.

Also have extra crib sheets, afghans, heavier blankets, play yard sheets, and a few halo sleep sacks/swaddles that I'm not sure what to do with yet.

Maybe put the sheets in one of the dresser drawers?? Sleep sacks with the sleep gowns?? The bigger blankets will be too big for the dresser drawers *cursing children's narrow depth furniture*

    I'm having issues with this as well. I have diaper stuff and medicines in one top drawer, accessories (socks hats bows etc) in the other top drawer and used these IKEA organizers (LOVE THEM) in both: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00192631/image

    We just got our diaper changing table though (last minute decision) so now I need to find baskets for it and can't seem to find any that match or fit. 

    I still have all of her clean clothes and blankets folded in her crib because I can't decide what to do with them. Bigger clothes that still haven't been washed are hanging in the closet. All the "extras" (diapers, wipes, humidifier, and other stuff that won't be used immediately) are stored in the closet as well so it's prety full.  

    I put all the bath stuff (body wash, shampoo, towels, washcloths) in the bathroom. 

    Anyone have a good store or website for baskets?  i can't seem to find anything that works with this changing table and its holding me up!

    ETA: link since ipad won't upload the picture.

    @scarlet3egonias‌ do you have a hobby lobby? My local stores carry a bunch of baskets.

    Also Pier1 sometimes has a decent basket selection, although they can be a bit pricey.

    Also maybe a Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Gordmans or Homegoods if you have any of those near.

  • @KMW08 I didn't think about Pier One! Good idea!

    I tried Michaels, Homegoods and TJ Maxx yesterday and it wore me out! I didnt find anything that would come close to working either. :(

  • @jess123456‌ I'm separating short & long sleeves. I figure I can also use the short sleeves when layering.

    @KUinCBUS‌ over the door shoe organizer--another genius idea! Thanks for sharing that!

    @danigirl830‌ sounds like you have it pretty organized as well!

    @Econosaurus‌ love your room! I'm not sure what I'd put in the long door side of the wardrobe either.
