Tiny And Tidy Closet Nursery Organization for Baby

Filed Under: Home Decor Projects, Motherhood

What do you do when you don’t have a spare room for baby? Make a closet nursery! This tidy and tiny closet uses every space for maximized nursery organization. UPDATE: Mac has graduated to a toddler closet bedroom. Same room, different arrangement. Check it out here.

When you are baby #5 you are kind of the odd one out. Two big brothers and two big sisters who each share a room—and then you come along. Do we give him his own bedroom and give up having an office or do we come up with a different solution?

When we moved into our house we walked through each room to see if there would be a good place to put baby. Our master bedroom is huge, but he is a light sleeper and we knew that my husband getting up for work in the mornings would wake him. Then we had an idea.

What about our master closet? We have two of them; a large one that we decided to use for our clothing, and a small one that was just the right size for Mac. It already had shelving, a door, a light, AND a window. If Harry Potter was able to fit in a closet, so can Mac, ha!

We spent all spring and summer traveling in our RV so Mac is used to tiny spaces. His little travel nursery worked so well in the RV  that we didn’t see a need to set up a full size crib when we got to Virginia. It has a cozy little pad, and he goes right to sleep when we lay him down. Why mess with that?

Tiny Closet Nursery Organization

This worked out perfectly since his travel crib was just the right size to fit inside his tiny closet nursery.

All of his clothing fit into a plastic dresser and on hangers. Against the first wall (which was impossible to photograph since the room is so tiny) are two large shelves.  We filled those with stacks of diapers. If, for some reason, they ever fell off of the shelves there’s no chance of him being hurt.

His toys fit behind his crib in totes against the wall, and extra blankets are stored in baskets above his clothing.

We don’t see him staying in this room forever, but it is big enough to put a toddler mattress in when he out grows his crib so we’ll see. (Gingham quilt tutorial here).

He has his own little space just a few feet from Mommy and Daddy. It is the perfect set up and I love having him so close.

    I never thought about a closet nursery. I love how you were able to make yours look so cozy and happy. I’m definitely pinning and saving for later. Thank you for sharing this idea, and have a happy day, friend.

    Adding a new baby always brings organization and rearranging! When your little man moves into the boys’ room, you will have a lot more storage space! Pinned!

    Oh my word Brandy, I would never have thought of using a closet as a nursery but it’s such a great idea. Your little Mac is close enough to his mom and dad not to fuss and you’ve made such good use of the space. It’s really perfect

This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻
