I will put my dad to work when he comes to visit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13384 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:06:03 +0000 shiny 13384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My out of season stuff is stored in plastic moving crates in a closet under the stairs:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26254981@N05/2519275274/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....519275274/</a></p> <p>I also have some items in under-the-bed storage, but I have found no matter what storage you use under the bed, it is apt to get dusty somehow. So I just keep my out-of-season "gear" there (i.e., my winter running clothing and winter pj's). </p> <p>About three times a year, I haul everything out, and do a closet rotation. </p> <p>I have very little closet space too; if you hit the browse button you'll see further pics of my closet arrangement. Coats - I didn't take a photo of those. Leather coats are in my closet. Out-of-season coats are in the hall coat closet. In-season coats hang on hooks in the back hallway, which nobody uses unless they are going to the basement. My dad made me a custom shelf with numerous hooks that lines the entire hallway, for ample coat storage. We have four people in our house so we have a LOT of coats, but this system seems to work okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13371 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:50:37 +0000 Rosie 13371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, ha ha I have been trying to do that and I think I'm doing a really good job. 5 bags of clothes, 2 shoes, and counting! But, I have coats and such that just don't make sense to keep in my closet and take up a lot of space. Have any of you had success with sturdy, enclosed garment racks or wardrobes? </p> <p>I have been inspired by you all to keep only the best, but man, it is hard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13366 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:34:15 +0000 Becky 13366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I suggest that you rigorously cull your clothing before moving so you have only the "cherries" left? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13365 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:08:58 +0000 Rosie 13365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of curiosity, about what are the dimensions of your closet? Mine is an oddly shaped 6.5 deep by 3.5 wide, and I have a feeling I will have to make some changes to what the owner has put into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13364 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:58:50 +0000 Rosie 13364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, thanks Ana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13361 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:25:19 +0000 Ana 13361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...well, I don't have much closet space, either. I use Sterilite plastic drawers that I put above the hanging parts of my closet to store winter clothing, like this:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300249-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0249-1.jpg</a></p> <p>I got them at Target for $20.00 each. They are in the organization section, and they are called, "rolling carts," but I just leave the wheels off and it works great:</p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/Sterilite-Wide-3-Drawer-Cart-White/dp/B000MPQ2S2/sr=1-8/qid=1215037424/ref=sr_1_8/601-4057360-3150558?ie=UTF8&#038;index=target&#038;field-browse=3151061&#038;rh=k%3ASterilite&#038;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Sterilit.....038;page=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-season-garmet-storage#post-13335 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:10:26 +0000 Rosie 13335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey all! I'm moving to a great place that unfortunately has very little closet space. I was hoping to hear from all you clever gals what has worked for you in terms of storage of off-season clothes or garments that you don't wear often. I don't have much room inside the bungalow, but I do have a garage. I am also interested in brands that have worked, as I know some garment racks are really flimsy. </p> <p>Thanks so much! </p>
