If you have a changing area in your daycare - what do you use to keep diapers, wipes, cream, etc. - the things you'd need near you during a change??
I am still not happy with the layout of my playroom (posted pics of it here a few weeks ago) and thinking of how to lose the cabinet I'm using for diapers, etc. Maybe something that can go on the wall but not be an eyesore?? I often have as many as 4 kids in diapers at a time so it has to be able to hold a bit but I can keep the extras in my hall closet.

Hanging baskets come in handy.
They meet my regs.
1. Out of reach of children.
2. Not touching the diaper changing surace.

I have a shelving unit that hold the fabric storage squares. Works great!

I use clear plastic containers from ikea on the shelf below the changing table. Allows me to see quickly if I'm running soon out too.

As soon as I find new batteries for my camera (today, I hope...) I'll post pictures of my changing area. I have a hanging pocket thing from Ikea on the wall that holds diapers (and cream, etc, if I would need it but no one I have right now uses it) and then for extra diapers, clothes, etc, I use plastic shoeboxes below.

I'd love to see it! I always hear of the great things people find in Ikea. Our closest one is an hour away, I've only been there once.As soon as I find new batteries for my camera (today, I hope...)

do you have one on the wall or on the floor?? I have a ton of those units in my playroom and love them. Thought of doing a 4 square thing of them on the wall but afraid they will stick out too far and I'll bump a kid in the head getting on/off the changing table. I think I need something not as deep as those if I'm putting them on the wall.I have a shelving unit that hold the fabric storage squares. Works great!

an idea I'm toying with.... wall is only 30" long so thinking maybe a 24" shelf with wicker baskets above the changing table. Not sure if that would be big enough though for 4-5 baskets.
Here is the area (just bought that tall skinny cabinet thing - but hate the way it looks!!):
so, one long shelf above table on that short wall... yes or no good???

My husband built a changing table over the tub in the kids bathroom. The sink vanity is quite long. I bought two cd shelves. They are narrow in depth. They stand on either side of the sink and each child had their own labeled shelf with diapers.

I do cloth diapers and store in my laundry area but keep all the diapers for going home here....
Just a cheap shoe organizer in the back of the door. When the door is open you don't even know it's there. I love it and my licensing rep. thought it was great.

Photo explains better. They are originally designed to hold CD's.My husband built a changing table over the tub in the kids bathroom. The sink vanity is quite long. I bought two cd shelves.

Hubby bolted the towers to the wall. Each child has a labelled shelf for their diapers. My changing table is actually built over the tub which is opposite the sink area.

I use a shoe organizer that hangs on my bedroom door. When diaper change time comes along, I go grab a diaper for each kiddo. 
Works Awesome! Each kid gets a row so I label each row with their name.
Edited to ad it is a vinyl type thing that is designed to hold a pair of shoes. It holds about 8 diapers in each slot. Pretty handy!

I guess I just want something prettier than a shoe organizer. 
I saw this but its still not exactly what I'd like.
