I use them for non drawer storage. Like on top of a dresser to hold stuff. </p> <p>If you don't want gaps, Google drawer dividers. I use them for my lingerie drawer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drawer-organization-awkward-the-organizers-dont-fit-properly-gaps#post-2608715 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:39:26 +0000 Littlebit7 2608715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: I think it looks pretty good! I'd shove stuff in the gaps you don't use often.<br /> And just think. LO might not be in NB long. You'll probably have to reorganize anyway and at some point you'll get to a time where LO will be in a size for more than a nanosecond and you'll not have to split the drawer since you'll have more clothes in that size. But it looks pretty good! Trust me, when you see mine you'll feel pretty darn good ;). I'll try to snap a pic tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drawer-organization-awkward-the-organizers-dont-fit-properly-gaps#post-2608711 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:34:16 +0000 SweetCaroline 2608711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Socks, tights, etc. Is what we did. Before you know it her clothes will be huge and you'll be kicking drawer organizers around that serve as dolly beds until the next baby arrives :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drawer-organization-awkward-the-organizers-dont-fit-properly-gaps#post-2608679 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:50:04 +0000 stiletto_mom 2608679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a pic. As you can see, I've just shoved socks and hats in the gap. Ugh. So awkward.</p> <p>Left side is newborn, right side is 0-3m.</p> <p>[attach=3914/16/occ7nh.600x337.20160822_203101.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drawer-organization-awkward-the-organizers-dont-fit-properly-gaps#post-2608075 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 20:27:54 +0000 teacherbee 2608075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same organizers and they give me gaps as well. In the small drawers I just move them so the gap is all on one side or the back of the drawer and use that small space to hold other things (ie: bibs and hats).</p> <p>In the larger drawers I have a bigger gap that I left at the front and I roll up sleepers and store them there in a line. Love the organizers though! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drawer-organization-awkward-the-organizers-dont-fit-properly-gaps#post-2608057 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 19:38:54 +0000 Littlebit7 2608057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you take a pic? I have the ikea organizers as well and they don't fit. I found that for her clothing I use them to group the smaller things (top drawer the bins corral socks, hats and swim suits each in their own insert while her sleep sacks and bibs float freely (I tend to grab them the most anyway)).<br /> Next drawer corrals short sleeve tees and tank tops while pants get folded to the right and diaper covers/bloomers fill a tiny weird gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drawer-organization-awkward-the-organizers-dont-fit-properly-gaps#post-2608032 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 18:45:53 +0000 stiletto_mom 2608032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I bought some drawer organizer inserts from Ikea for the drawers on change table/dresser. However, there are weird 1-2 inch gaps no matter how I configure the different sized organizers.</p> <p>Any solutions? Do I just drop other things into the awkward gaps? </p>
