Items used for the project and favorite part of the storage solution:
A full size standard bedroom closet seemed like a waste of space when we began working on our baby Talin's nursery. We started by removing the track and sliding doors and painting the interior the same as the nursery.

Best storage tip for families with children:
Stay organized -stash or give away old clothes and toys, as they pile up quick!

I love the way you did the "t" above the crib, and the room colors are soothing. But, I worry about the closet not working as Talin gets older.

how do you do the "t" and circle things? Forgive my ignorance but is it stencils that you buy? I think it is adorable as well...

Are those decals above the closet? If so, where did you get them?

Um, I'm guessing Talin is the first kid....removing doors and leaving exposed shelving is super-cool until your kids are big enough to pull your tidy piles down and use the shelves like a ladder. Enjoy it while it lasts:]
