DIY Nursery Closet

February 5 · DIY Projects, Family, Lifestyle, Our Home

Well, after 9 months of preparation and 7 months of motherhood, I finally feel like Camila’s nursery is coming together! Back when I was pregnant the first part of the nursery we started creating was the closet. Considering I turned one of the bedrooms in our house into a walk-in closet for Brent and me this is no surprise! Yet, once Mila arrived and I started using the closet I realized things weren’t organized quite as efficiently as I would like. I also wasn’t crazy about some of the storage containers. So, after making a few changes I am finally happy with the finished nursery closet!

This isn’t the actual nursery closet, but this is a “before” picture of another closet in our house from the day we moved in. The nursery closet was full of wire racks like this before the makeover.

The nursery closet before adding baby items and containers.

I failed to take any true “before” pictures of inside the closet (I blame pregnancy brain), but it basically looked exactly like the closet that I photographed in another room of our house. Thanks to my handy husband and a lot of inspiration from this beautiful nursery closet from one of my favorite bloggers, my vision for Camila’s baby closet was brought to life! We purchased all of the items for the DIY nursery closet either online or in local stores (the closet rails and shelves were from Lowe’s). This means you can easily recreate this DIY nursery closet yourself. Not only is it great for a baby’s room, but I’d love to redo the closet in our master bedroom using the same layout!

This was what the nursery closet looked like when Camila was first born. I wasn’t happy with the organization and some of the storage containers, so I have since made some changes. Photo credit goes to the talented 23rd Avenue Photography who took our newborn photos (seen in this blog post).

Originally I had the four sections of hanging clothes divided by size (newborn in top left corner, 0-3 months in top right, etc.) But, I realized I wasn’t happy with this layout because various baby brands fit differently. I changed it to be organized by item type and I’m much happier this way! I also had shoes, hats, and dolls sitting out on a shelf at first, but my obsession to organize and reduce clutter couldn’t handle it. These items are now in storage bins. As of right now, there are more than enough bins to hold everything including extra diapers, wipes, toys, blankets, extra clothes, baby carriers, and more.

I have tried to link as many of the items below as possible, but if there is something you don’t see linked and would like to know about feel free to comment below and I’d be happy to help! I have all of Camila’s onesies, pants and socks organized in her dresser and I’m hoping to share that organization on the blog soon!

How to Always have Fresh Cookies on Hand🍪 Bein How to Always have Fresh Cookies on Hand🍪

Being the cookie lover that I am, I make it my goal to always have fresh cookies available - You’ll never know when you’ll want/need one. The end of a long day? To celebrate something at work? For a friend having a rough week? Cookies, cookies, cookies…always the answer🍪🍪🍪

Here are the rules I follow & some storage tips:
1. When making cookie dough, don’t bake all of it at once, unless you know you’re going to eat it all within 48 hours. Instead, bake what you will eat during that time and store the remainder in the fridge. Fresh > 3 days old.
2. Store cookie dough in the fridge for up to 5 days. It doesn’t need to be rolled into balls for this step. 
3. After 5 days, if you have any dough left, roll it into balls, place it inside a ziplock, and freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months.
4. To bake from frozen, I simply follow the recipe’s instructions and add a few minutes if they look like they need it.
🤍TIP: Plan on doubling the dough of your favorite recipes anytime you make them. It’s so much easier to make twice the amount at once and store it rather than making it two separate times.
🤍TIP: Write the date on top of the fridge container with a dry erase marker to track when it needs to be frozen. Write the name of the cookie dough along with the date in permanent marker on the frozen ziplock bag. 
🤍TIP: For recipes that yield runny/very soft dough, form balls/discs of dough on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and place the sheet directly into the freezer. Once frozen, remove, transfer into ziplock bags, and place back in freezer (demonstrated in video). 

What am I missing? Do you have any additional cookie dough making/storage tips? If so, leave them in the comments!👇🏻
