From Your Family to Ours: Storage Solutions
Friday, July 20, 2012 by Sara McTigue from The Family Channel
This week we're talking getting the nursery and home ready for baby. EverydayFamily member Bhumphr6 says:
We live in an apartment and we are just starting to get baby stuff for nursery and everything and I feel like we are running out of room already and we are not even close to getting everything we need. Any ideas on space saving before the baby comes?
Alison suggests:
I would suggest skipping the changing table and mounting the changing pad to the dresser top. Also, invest in a good closet organizer for the baby's room, and think about doing that for every closet in the apartment. You'll really maximize your storage space that way.
Kara says:
Find things that multi-task. Like I think I saw a swing somewhere that turned into a bouncer and a rocker. Also look for travel things because they are usually smaller and fold up when not in use.
And LittleOne2321 understands:
I'm in the same boat. We just moved into a small two-bedroom place, and we're almost out of room for our stuff, let alone the baby's! I'm planning on getting a mini crib to allow for more space, and storing clothing she won't use for a while in our now empty packing totes.
