Nursery storage solutions - help a girl out.

Where did you get your shelving / bins / whatever else you're using for storage for your nursery?
Particularly the women who have cute cubby-hole looking shelves in their closets - plus any cute shelves / storage bins for inside the nursery ....
I feel like we have a lot of wasted space in our little guy's closet and in our nursery and I have a lot of stuff I need to find a place for! I'm having a hard time finding cute shelving and storage solutions, though ....
Thanks!!

We got this...

I love it! It is really good size. We fit all his blankets, sheets, bibs, burp clothes, swaddle me's, socks, and shoes in it.
we got this ClosetMaid Cubicles in espresso to match the furniture for extra storage from Target (it's on sale now too!)
I got a $15.00 ClosetMaid shelf from Lowes and a $15.00 "accessory rack" (really, it's just a low shelf) from Target for inside the closet.
Someone purchased some storage totes off of our BRU registry that I'm waiting to receive so I can put those on that shelf and/or on the main closet shelf so things are more organized.
I've since gotten another green basket to put on the floor under that shelf. Those are from BRU.
I also have two large baskets under the crib to store extra sheets, blankets, changing pad covers, etc. (also from BRU).
(Oscar likes it under there)
Other than that, we're just waiting on our dresser!

Day Three
this is how we organized our closet...we also have a five drawer dresser for additional items but I am quite happy with the closet. The changing table is also actually a bookshelf, that we will use for as long as it is in good shape
instead of a dresser or changing table:
We bought the coordinating hutch that goes with our dresser, so that gives us some storage space. For the closet, I already had a bookshelf (that was built for me when I was a baby), so we put thatin there and have put ClosetMaid fabric storage drawers on the bookshelf and on the hutch. You can get the "drawers" at Target or Lowe's. Lowe's has a better color selection, but they are like $0.50 more there. My friends have the shelving unit that goes with the storage drawers and its pretty cute- its got 9 holes for the drawers to sit in. I've seen them at Lowe's, Target and WalMart.
We bought this at Target yesterday. However ours only has 6 cubes instead of 9. And then we got the canvas boxes to put in them. It looks really cute. We have it in the closet, but it looks really cute so we may get another for the nursery. They are all on sale at Target right now. Easy to put together as well.

We also have the ClosetMaid Cubicles shelf from Target, with fabric drawers for half the cubicles.
In the closet, DH built a few shelves going down the side wall and we are just using sterilite bins/baskets to hold things like socks and washcloths and extras..
The O'Baby Blog
I have been eyeing this up since I saw it in the Target ad yesterday. It's out of stock online (at least in white), but I guess the white ones are available in stores. There are several different colors you can choose from online...

Then they have the fabric bins for this on sale too.
Here is our closet. We got the closet system from Home Depot and the canvas bins are from target. We also got a small ClosetMaid from Target to put some items it.
I just got a few plastic bins from Walmart that were $2 and $3 and had DH build some shelves.
I also got a few cheap plastic bins for under the crib for toys. I'll have a crib skirt so no one will see them!
We have about 4 tan canvas open bins from Walmart. If you get them in the laundry section they are 2 for $10 but over in the baby section the same thing is like $3 more.

Check out Land of Nod too. But before you do anything, look at spacsavers.com. They have every size, shape, color basket you could ever want.
These are great for hanging in the closet and keeping blankets, bibs, etc in.

I have some of those fold up bins (you buy them flat and then unfold them) from Target in the room colors under the crib.
Check this out too. Their stuff is pretty decent and very inexpensive!

Look more around their site too, I know they have other stuff like this.
We have this closet organizer (it also comes in blue or green):
https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3006579. I also bought a few plastic storage bins from Home Depot that are stacked with larger clothing in each size. Inside her drawers I actually used former takeout food containers (the rectangular ones) to store little things like pacifiers and hair accessories.
We bought this at Target on clearance for $12.99, plus the cubes ($12.99 for a set of two on sale). We have books in one part, blankets in another. One bin has crib sheets, one has shoes, one has bath stuff, one has bottles/pacis/etc.
That will probbly all get re-organized to be more functional, but we'll see.
We got itso bins to put in an ikea storage unit - the ikea unit is super-sturdy (heard the target ones were flimsy) and the itso bins (from target) fit perfectly. That is in the closet; in the room, I have a dresser (from my mom's set as a child) and 2 billy bookcases (ikea).
