Trying to figure out storage

[NayneeNoo]

I will be CD'ing both Aubrey and Luke. They will be sharing a room. Right now, here's the current setup in the room they'll be sharing (starting at the left of the room and going around clockwise):

Once my parents have come and gone, we'll be setting a second crib up where all the toys are and moving the toys to the basement (they'll be sleeping on an inflatable mattress in this room, but they won't fit with two cribs in the room). Luke's clothes are currently being washed, so those aren't in the closet yet. So this is what I have to work with. The open dresser is where I currently have the dipes I've received so far, but I still have 1.5 dozen premium prefolds, 2 covers, 2 KL0s, plus fitteds, pockets, more covers, wool, and fleece soakers a sweet mama is loaning me coming in the mail. Where on earth am I going to put it all?!

I can feasibly move the canvases above the dresser to the wall where the second crib will go and get shelving and baskets to go over the dresser, but I wouldn't be able to put it up very high because I'm rather short (5'1"). There's a little space to the left of the dresser between the closet and the dresser that I've thought perhaps I could put a small shelving unit next to the dresser. :think OR I could empty the dresser of any and all clothes and put the clothes in the closet. :think

So with all these ideas rolling around in my head, I'd LOVE to see your storage system. Maybe there's another way I just haven't thought of yet that will work exceedingly better in this space!

We used a dresser as a changing table with dd1, and had the diapers in the drawers and all clothes in the closet instead. We found it to be an inconvenience (reaching down to get a diaper from the bottom drawer while trying to keep a wiggly baby in place up top, the dresser is an antique and drawers would stick, etc), and eventually moved them to a couple of sturdy 3 drawer plastic organizers.

I'm looking for a better system with the second baby too. I was considering open shelving for the prefolds at least above the dresser, but I am about 5 inches taller than you and still think it may be too high. Plus I am not always the most graceful and am afraid of accidentally pulling a whole pile of diapers down on the baby! :lol

Interested to see what others do...

Keeping in mind that I have never CD'd and this is totally from looking at the photos. Am I correct that the closet is directly next to the changing table? If it is could you move the plastic stacker that is currently on the left side of the closet to the side adjacent to the changing table and store extra diapers in it? Would that be within reach?

i keep the prefolds just in a stack on the dresser and have a canvas tote that sits next to the stack with the pockets, wipes, covers, etc. i prefer to not get into drawers for diaper changes :)

and we keep all the clothes in the closet.
