I totally forgot to take a picture of Lily's closet before I cleaned it out and organized it. It was pretty similar to how it is now, but I went through a lot and sorted by size. I put the everyday clothing in the drawers and hung up dresses, coats, and fancy outfits in the closet by size. It's not done by any means, but I cleaned it out. Put the clothes that no longer fit Lily into a storage box, bagged up the newborn and infant supplies that I no longer need, threw away stained clothing, and got a bag together of things that I'll hand down to my sister in law if she has a girl. I totally think its a boy though. I also made a list of things that I would like to purchase to make the closets easier to find items. Notice the bin in the bottom of the closet. I am saving this bin for my next challenge of organizing the baby clothing for storage.
AFTER: 
On this side of the closet I have wipes, diapers, crib sheets, blankets, shoes, hats, extra diaper bags, Lily's baby book items which I totally need to get to, 18 month and bigger clothing that has been given to me. Although its organized it still looks like a mess.
After taking my photo I realized that I am not using this space very well so I did some research on how to make it look neater and utilize the space better. I think I'll buy these and put diapers, wipes, lotions and shampoos, baby carrier items and accessories. I found these canvas bins on target.com. I think I'll get a couple of these.

I also found this amazing canvas spacer for your closet. Packing Lily's daiper bag for the next day can be made easier if I use the lower bins to put the clothing items for the week in them, that way I don't have to dig through the drawer to find things when I am in a rush in the morning. As she gets older, I can put her outfits in the slots so that she can get dressed in the morning without having to dig through everything. I think I'll see if I can find it in dark brown. 
It's hard to divide clothing without some kind of divider to note the size. I found these online and they look super easy to make, so I'm going to try and make my own dividers for her closet. I'll update when I redo the closet again with my new organizational changes.
