This week was supposed to be our DVD storage and our TV cabinet... and that is half done. So to make sure I completed ONE organization project from my master list from start to finish this week, I substituted in the baby stuff. DVD/TV stuff will be next week. It is going to be a couple of months before we can actually start on baby's room, and in the meantime, stuff is building up in our guest room. We have received a lot of gifts already, and we have also been picking up a lot of needed items on clearance as we see them. This has made our guest room/office unusable. We had planned on buying one of the Closetmaid Cube Organizers for baby's room eventually and decided to just go ahead and buy it now and use it temporarily in the guest room to organize all of the baby stuff. Lucky for us the cube organizers were on sale this week at Target. The 9 cube unit was marked down from $52 to $39 and the fabric bins from $7 to $6. We purchased the white cube organizer and three light pink bins, 3 bright pink bins, and 3 green bins (we actually only purchased 1 green bin, we have two extra kakhi colored bins from another project and I have two green ones at work in my office, so I will swap out the two kakhi ones with the two green ones to equal three).
The bins are organized by item type. Newborn clothes, 0-3 month clothes, 3-6 month clothes, 6-9 month clothes, 9-12 month+ clothes, feeding, nursing, bath, and blankets. All of the other stuff is neatly stacked around the cube organizer. This is a temporary storage solution for this room that will easily move to baby's room when the time comes. It also allows us to see what we have so we don't duplicate purchase items, as well as see what we still need. All in all, I'm pleased.
