storage help

[Vicky]

as you can see, i have the nesting bug

ok here's my problem - Jacinta and the new baby will be 3 years apart.
So i have all these clothes that don't fit Jacinta but i want to keep for baby

They will eventually share a room so i have a big chest of draws for their clothes but as the 2 of them will share it, i only have room for the clothes that fit Jacinta and up to 000 for baby.

so i have loads of bags of clothes and not much space for them

how do you store things like this??

its driving me nuts and i'm running out of space in the wardrobe

any ideas

I use big storage tubs from Big @ stacked to the roof in the garage. (Which I really need to go through and cull)

What about thes vac bag thingos you coud store under a bed?

I use storage tubs too.

i also have the tubs, but to be honest bugs can still get in them so i'd go the space/vaccum bags!

I got the big duffle-style Space Bags. They're good because even if some air gets back into the spacebag part, the dufflebag part holds it all in to the smaller size. I got mine from Spotlight.

thanks girls - there is no space in the shed or garage (thanks to DH's stuff)
there is no room under the beds as they all have wooden draws under them which are full of toys (otherwise i'd have toys every where too )

i am thinking i'll have to do the vac bags and stuff em in the ceiling (i'll just have to remember where i put them lol)

Or do what I did and gave them to my SIL to store for us, she has heaps more room!! We live in a 2 bedroom duplex with one wardrobe, so storage is a HUGE issue for us! Do you know anyone else who could store them for you?

no unfortunately - i lent some clothes to my cousin which she has just given back and i'm not real happy coz some things didn't come back and some were not in great condition - so not inclined to do that again

oh and i have a HUGE nappy stash i need to organise too

That's a great idea. If my man hole was bigger I'd shove all our boxes up there.

I have the same issue with clothes vicky. MY wardrobe has been taken over.

On nappy storage. This is mine before and after bub, can you guess which is which

The gaps in the cupboard were filled with longies and wild childs.

Each boy has one basket in the lounge room and a small basket for the wipes. I just have to remember to take a nappy and wipe when its change time. I just didnt have the time to keep putting nappies away in their rooms. I figure at least they are hidden this way when people visit rather than a pile on the floor would love some nice weather so I can put the clothes hoises away.
