Well, I believe I've mentioned that I am psychotically nesting with this pregnancy. I figured no one would believe the levels to which I have gone...so I thought I'd document them!
I was LITERALLY being kept awake at night trying to figure out a cost-effective and orderly way to corral the girls clothes once they were all moved into the same room. Here is what I came up with... (bear in mind a 5 year old and 3 year old put their clothes away!)
 |
| An old TV Cabinet that was headed for the trash - I just added a back (plywood) and removed the shelf for a DVD player. On the right is a dresser we found at a yard sale 5 years ago. |
 |
| Inside the cabinet is a 9-Cube organizer. Makes me happy! |
 |
| Labels for EVERYTHING! |
 |
| Bitty Bean's clothes all fit in the white dresser with an extra drawer for the big girl's items. |
 |
| I think these fancy wall tags in their closet should do the trick! |
Now, I was partially motivated to label what-goes-where to help the Beans learn where things went
, but it was primarily to help My Love be able to get the beans dressed if I somehow go into labor with Boy Bean the very day he comes home! (I also needed to figure out a way to keep all their clothes in the closet neat and organized - 3 different sizes in the same area...definitely could spell frustration if all time is spent checking tags!)
 |
| These shoe boxes with all their "next size up" help keep me from wasting money on items we already have. |
 |
| I also re-purposed a book shelf we bought at a garage sale for $5 5 years ago into a shoe storage rack! |
And THERE is some proof that I am going crazy!! But at least people will know where to find stuff when they take me away.... :)

ReplyDeletehooray! so glad it will come in handy for you :) I find masking tape on the doors of pretty much everything helps when we get to a new house....just takes some guess work out with each transition....seeing as how we've done 8 houses in 7 years - I've had to learn some tricks! :)
ReplyDeleteAs a neat freak - I LOVE THIS! Once upon a time before nursing school I had good systems in place, but after moving, etc. they are gone :( Feel free to come over and nest my house to pieces!! LOL. - Kate
