Nursery Wall Storage

We used a dowel rod, scraps of leather, and a few baskets to create a simple nursery wall storage above the changing table in the nursery.

Last week we shared the baby changing table that Brent built for the nursery. This week we are sharing another project we worked on for that corner of the room, a nursery wall storage solution to go above the changing table that turned out to be really simple to put together and cost us next to nothing to make!

The changing table offers plenty of space to store and organize baby supplies but after browsing Pinterest for inspiration, I liked the idea of incorporating a way to store frequently used baby items so they are easy to grab in a second, right at arms length. Plus, we needed something else to fill up this wall. There are tons of ideas out there everything from using shelves to pegboards.

We ultimately decided to keep it simple and make a bar where we could hang a few wire baskets with supplies. We decided to use a dowel rod that we could spray paint white to match the vertical bars on the crib.

To mount the bar to the wall, Brent came up with the idea to make straps out of leather we already had leftover from another project to hold the dowel rod which I think looks awesome. My mom donated the baskets that already had the hangers attached to them.

This entire project costs us the price of the dowel rod.

UPDATE: Now that we have a wiggly four month old, this nursery wall storage above the changing table has made our lives a thousand times easier. I can grab the supplies I need quickly from the baskets while keeping a hand on him at all times.

Follow along with the video and steps below to see how to easily make this nursery wall storage project.

After the baskets were nice and secure on the rod, I added items I think we will need to grab often like burp cloths, diapers, lotion, wipes, etc.

To finish up this wall, we hung an adventure sign above the nursery wall storage bar that fits with our modern outdoor nursery theme. I love how all the projects came together for this area of the nursery and how it has a cohesive but non cluttered feel.

I know I (better yet…we) will be spending a lot time standing here changing diapers!
