When embarking on our baby boy’s nursery plans, the need for storage was an immediate launch point for a conversation surrounding our closet: an 11-foot-wide by 2-foot-deep closet with a single rod. At the time, it was filled from end to end with out-of-season clothing and coats. We knew that, particularly for a tiny human, relying on just a single rod would not work out in the long run. We debated buying a dresser for inside of the closet, but even a typical size would protrude through the doorway!
Here was our closet wishlist:
Drawers
Hanging rods
Deep shelves for either side of the closet — since it’s too skinny to walk into or easily reach!
Overhead storage for items that aren’t needed everyday
An organizing solution categorized by baby’s clothing size
I called Trazo Design, who swept in with a vision that would work well not only now but throughout our baby boy’s childhood. The Container Store’s custom closet center designed a modular system that would be amenable to growth spurts and evolving needs (such as more hangers instead of bins!).

I love that Trazo takes extra time to fill every nook and cranny with the right items. Drawer dividers, adorable labels, and approachable folding techniques put everything in their perfect place! These pros are the reason I feel so ready when I walk into this space. Now we’re just ready to welcome baby!
