The Boys' Room + Dresser Organization

I thought it was about time to show the boys’ room again! If you didn't see their nursery tour, you can read about it here! I also thought I would share with you how I organize their dresser.

Dresser organization:

I started using these storage cubes from Ikea when I was pregnant & putting together the nursery, they are great for organizing baby clothes & fit in the dresser perfectly.

The top four smaller drawers hold their pajamas, onesies/shirts & socks.

The two middle drawers hold pants, blankets & sheets/mattress protectors. The boys don’t use swaddles anymore, but I had to keep a few of my favorite ones from when they were little! I feel like they might come in handy to use as light blankets when we go for walks.

The bottom two drawers hold diaper genie refills & blankets. We received so many lovely, handmade blankets when the boys were little! We love them all & like to have them easily accessible.

Their closet holds their sweaters, jackets & all of the clothing that is too big for them.

Now onto their room!  Not a ton has changed in their room. We moved their cribs, removed a few things & added more toys. Wyatt & Boden actually use this room to play in now, it’s so sweet watching them play!

The majority of the upstairs toys are kept in their closet. I love the Kallax units from Ikea, they are great for storing toys! Stuffed animals go in a basket & they have a few bigger toys scattered throughout the room (a trike, an activity cube, etc.)

Getting rid of their changing pad means more room for books! These are all of their books that have paper pages & can be easily ripped. They have access to all of their board books, which are either downstairs in their play area or in their room on a low bookshelf.

They have a little reading nook set up with a couple of chairs & a bookshelf. They love to climb up into these chairs & grab books from the shelf! The bookshelf & chairs are from Ikea.

We enjoy spending time playing in their bedroom. When they wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is change them & then we play before going downstairs for breakfast. Call me crazy, but I can’t help but imagine what their room will evolve into as they get older. I even caught myself looking at “big boy” beds online…?!?!? It’s definitely not time for that yet, but it’s fun to look!

Twin Boy Nursery

I wrote this post back in OCTOBER but just realized I never posted it! I’ve updated the pictures & content to show the nursery in its current state :)

The twins’ nursery is by far my favorite room in the house. I spent so many hours in this room when I was pregnant, getting it all ready for our baby boys! My favorite thing was folding & putting away their teeny tiny clothes after washing them. Mmmmm why do baby clothes smell so good?!

The color is “Coney Island” from Behr. I was inspired by Jessica Garvin’s (Garvin & Co.) office & I fell in love with the color right away!

My husband & dad modified the chair to make it a rocker & the baskets that the books are in came from a local grocery store.

Sean’s great grandpa made this toy box for him when he was younger. He also made wooden toys that are inside! I’m excited for the boys to play with them once they get a little older. I painted it the same navy blue color that is in our living room (Starless Night from Behr). My grandpa made the wooden trees & the figurines were Sean’s grandmas.

I love this growth chart that my mother-in-law got at a local farmers market! The “never grow up” print was used at my baby shower & is from Etsy. My shower was Peter Pan themed & it was fun to incorporate some of the decor from the shower into the nursery.

We still need to frame & hang some artwork that their grandma made (hopefully soon!) but this is what the nursery currently looks like!

Baby Keepsake Boxes

As I was cleaning out the twins’ room a few weeks ago, I realized that there were some special items that I just couldn’t get rid of. Although these things are important, they are currently unusable & just taking up space in their dresser. I knew I needed some sort of way to organize these things & put them in a place that would be out of the way, not taking up a ton of room.

I bought these bins from Ikea. They are the medium sized KUGGIS boxes & they work perfectly for storing baby clothes & other items! The vinyl name decals are from Etsy & the other two bins hold some of their clothes that I’m not ready to get rid of yet.

Each box includes:

• Hospital swaddles & hats

• Coming home outfits

• Ultrasound pictures

• Hospital wrist bands

• Special outfits

• “It’s A Boy” & Disneyland buttons

These boxes fit a lot of things & there is room to add more as the boys grow! I’m glad that all of these items have a designated space that is out of the way, yet still easily accessible. Now, I just need to organize their dresser & closet. Wish me luck! ;)
