Children - Clothing Storage

I have a basement. That floods. That being said, I store things in my basement in large, plastic storage totes on large plastic racks. I love storage bins and I even buy them in specific colors for specific items (example: green for Christmas decorations, blue for clothing, and so on). I could go on and on, but I just wanted to share with you my latest accomplishment. (Some might simply call it nesting, but I do this kind of thing even when I'm not pregnant!)

Pictured here are the bins of all the clothing I have received or purchased for my little one on the way. I have chosen to use purple bins to store little girl clothing and I have labeled all of the totes by what age or size clothing is in it. I have a bin for Newborn size, 0-3 month, 3-6 month, 6-9 month, and so on. I also have a tub for accessories, shoes, or otherwise un-sized or one-sized items as well.

I also used various sized tubs for the clothing. I figure it might be easier to fill a tub all the way or buy an additional tub in the same size. I wanted to keep these ones nice and small so that my daughter and I could move them more easily since most of the larger storage tote lugging usually falls on my husband... Not only that, but I am assuming these sizes will only last short periods of time and the smaller totes can be stored easily in my daughter's closet until she grows out of them and they're taken to the basement.
