…which is good because they’re everywhere. I, like so many others, can appreciate a good storage bin because they never fail to be so darn useful, especially in Baby’s room. I recall sitting in the middle of my son’s nursery, with said son still in my belly, feeling overwhelmed by how I was going to fit all of my newly acquired baby shower gifts into his tiny 10 x 10 ft. bedroom. I had to get very creative, but I managed to organize it all, and storage bins played a major role in this little miracle.
Some tips:
· Look for wasted space in your nursery-most likely you can turn it into useful storage space with a bin. The most over-looked dead space in Baby’s room is under the crib, but be careful: cramming too many things under a crib can become a dangerous fire hazard.
· Measure your space BEFORE purchasing storage bins-eyeballing it quickly before heading out to the store can lead to frustrating returns or bins that are too small and don’t maximize your empty storage space. I managed to find THE PERFECT size bins for his changing table because they not only were the right height and length, but the width was so exact that I was able to nudge 3 bins in there instead of 2. I wouldn’t have been able to find those without proper measurements first.
· Don’t sacrifice fashion for function-if you find the right size bin but you’re not crazy about the color or look, don’t buy it. There’s too many fish in the sea.
· Do sacrifice a little $$ for perfection-if you do find the right size bin and it’s also the perfect color and look, be prepared to grab it even if it’s not on sale. The Perfect Storage Bin is a beautiful thing.
