This leaves space in a closet for other items. We also keep things downsized. I try to have the kids only have a weeks worth of clothing (about 7 days worth) and mix and match them for variety. (um yes this is a challenge with my dd). Who needs all the clothes taking up space, of course we have 9 folks in our home, so that may be my motivation. *wink*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-15061623271335697832012-11-09T21:04:34.719-05:002012-11-09T21:04:34.719-05:00Try looking up.

Evaluating what you think you need is good as well. Sometimes you may find that something you thought you had to have you can do without, by using something else or thinking outside the box.Suannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768381960849873308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-75590879780961649092012-11-08T20:51:29.849-05:002012-11-08T20:51:29.849-05:00We've used the 3rd bedroom as storage, too.

We also had to store homeschool things downstairs, so we moved the couch forward a few feet to gain all the storage behind it. It's not ideal, but it works for now.Tim, Allyson, and kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783456001791140306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-48299688252136117212012-11-08T11:42:44.448-05:002012-11-08T11:42:44.448-05:00I live in a small 5 room (including the bathroom!)...I live in a small 5 room (including the bathroom!) apartment with my 3 kids and husband and we have virtually no storage space. I utilize space under beds, behind furniture, and in every nook and cranny I can find! I'm also looking forward to someday having my own house...with closets and storage areas *blissful sigh*Sunshine and Spoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218542467607737336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-24980375228718650142012-11-08T08:31:28.910-05:002012-11-08T08:31:28.910-05:00we used under the bed wheeled storage containers f...we used under the bed wheeled storage containers for personal storage but the same could bee used for sports stuff and/or out of season clothes.Joanienoreply@blogger.com
