Prettying up the nursery in unexpected ways

If you're anything like me, you spent all this time picking out the nursery colors, obsessing over the crib sheets, and then completely forgetting to beautiful the very thing you look at 40 times a day--the diaper storage.

 

I never really liked those hanging diaper caddies. And I'm iffy on the ubiquitous rattan baskets lined with fabric.  But I do like these handmade fabric storage buckets from Denver's Mick & Mack.

With colors from orange and teal to earthy browns and olives, they'd look fabulous in any nursery. I'd fill them with diapers and leave them in plain sight by the changing table for easy access. But they'd also be great for storing stationery, small toys, craft supplies, or the various odds and ends that seem to amass with kids. Or their packrat fathers. -Liz
