Transform Wire Baskets to Shelving!

One mother on projectnursery.com had the ingenious idea of utilizing her baskets as shelving! “
I wanted to create a playful and clean nursery for my little man,” explains Blogger Cerissac. “I didn't want it to scream baby boy but rather a more simple design.” For this she took wire baskets, turned them on their side and created fun and functional shelves! “ Don't feel tied down to just baby stores,” says Cerissac. “Not everything has to be traditional!

Small Space? Hang Your Baskets!

A clever way to utilize all of your space is installing hanging baskets or hooks to attach light wicker or metal containers to keep your wipes and disposable diapers handy. Blogger Aimee Weaver did just that and attached chalkboards to her fabric handle baskets and hung them over her change table! She also created her own storage boxes that hold cloth diapers that slide underneath the crib! “There are no closets in the room, so this is where all of Jack & Violet's clothing resides!” She explains, “Nothing fancy but it does the job!”

Utilize Display Baskets To Organize Clothing!

Baby accessories and clothing comes in all shapes and sizes… and odds are they’re small enough to get lost quick! Instead of piling it all into a jumble, one Homedit blogger says, “You may want to invest in baskets, boxes or canvas cubes to help with organizing through your baby’s accessories. You may put some of these in a chest of drawers but if not, socks, hats, headbands and more can be easily stored in the closet (and labeled too)!” By utilizing display baskets, you can ensure that everything matches and looks great while not getting lost in the inevitable sea of clothing!

Transform A Basket Into A Baby Changing Pad!

One blogger went above and beyond by creating a gorgeous one of a kind DIY baby changing pad with a wicker basket & matching diaper holder! “All you need to do is cut the cushion padding to fit the basket,” Explains Rustic Honey. “You want it to be pretty snug. I made mine flush with the top edge of the basket. To complete the changing station I added a cute basket full of diapers. Changing stinky diapers can be anything but cute, but I sure do enjoy this space!”
