Ways to Organize a Baby Closet
Babies inevitably come with a lot of stuff. From the first day you announced your pregnancy, through the baby shower, baby’s birth and baby’s first birthday you will receive more baby clothes and accessories than you ever imagined. The key to letting all of these cute onesies and outfits overwhelm you is to organize them as you put them away in baby’s closet. Use the closet as you have it now, without removing any existing clothes bar. Eventually, the baby closet will become the closet of a child and later a teen, if you do not plan on moving, and the child will need that closet bar. There is no need to install a special baby clothing bar since the bottom half of the closet can be organized in a better way. During the toddler and preschool years consider adding a low clothes bar for the child who is learning to self-dress.
