Does anyone have any ideas? I'm now thinking that a changing table is not what I want even the dresser looking ones. I do need something for storage but have no clue as to what to use.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I keep my diapers in a basket on the closet shelf. If you have a dresser for your baby, it's pretty easy to keep them in the top drawer, too. You really don't need an entire dresser for them.

Our changing table converted into shelves. It is still being used (25yrs later) by my son as a TV stand and set up for his stereo and game systems.

^^ that is interesting! Where did you purchase this from?
I have a dresser but it's full with clothes. I've got diapers in baskets right now on top of that & in this cute pail thing. But I was thinking what could I use to put baskets on/in that doesn't take up much space.

Honestly, I would leave the diapers where they are and just get a folding changing pad (Munchkin makes one) and change the baby on the floor. They recommend changing the baby on the floor for safety reasons anyway. I thought this was crazy until my DS flipped head first off our changing table this week.

Oh my gosh glad he is ok! How did he manage that? I thought about that just getting one of those changing pads & not worrying with some bulky table. The changing table I was looking at has bars around the top kinda, does yours? I need more storage is all. Maybe I'll look into some kind of shelving.

Okay, am I the only one who thought it was strange that you were asking about a change table for storage? 
Anyway, we've never had a change table. Baby changed on the floor, bed etc. Babies clothes are wherever they will fit- usually I free up a drawer in someone else's dresser. Jael's clothes for the first yr were in a cardboard box in the linen cupboard
. This next baby will get the bottom drawer in my bedside chest.
Nappies have always been folded on a thing called a bakers rack- a wire 3 shelf thing that's about 2 feet wide. I've got no idea about over there, but here they are sold for decoration, putting pot plants on or folded towels etc. We got ours cheap in a discount shop. The bakers rack itself has been in a different spot depending on what house we were living in- laundry, our bedroom, corner of the lounge room etc.

I don't have a changetable... We change Madeleine on the table or on the floor.
I keep all her stuff out in the lounge room, as that is where we usually change her.
Once she gets bigger and can move around alot, I won't change her on the table, i will just do it on the floor. They can't fall if they are already on the floor!!!

It's not JUST storage but most of them are storage oriented. Like this one:

Storage aspect makes sense to me.
We have a changing table that has bars on all four sides, but stupid me, I let him sit up while he was on it that time. I had my hand on him and everything, but when I turned just a little to grab something off the dresser with my other hand, he took the opportunity to reach over the edge of the table and down he went!! Fortunately, the diaper stacker and our little waste paper basket broke most of his fall. I caught him before he hit the ground. It was scary though. He didn't cry much, and I kept moving all of his limbs to make sure he didn't dislocate anything.

I love my changing table.... but for what you are talking about I'd try to clear the top drawer in the dresser you have. Couldn't you hang some of the clothes/onesies on tiny hangers?

I have every drawer filled with clothes,socks, burb clothes etc..& the closet if full too. I guess I need to get a diaper hanger thingy. I did see this one thing at Our New baby that is a rolling cart that I may get.

I have always changed my kiddos on the floor or on the bed. I just throw a blanket down or a waterproof pad or the lambie down and change them there with my legs straddled around them. I keep my diapers stacked in the linen closet and the diaper pail next to the toilet.
