best storage tips!!!

[*charmalea*]

i use those big plastic boxes with differnt coulred lids for different things , they are easy to stack in the wardrobes and can been seen in for easy identifying .

i dont think space bags are that great , i used a few when moving and by the next day they were leaking air ..

huge plastic tubs from bunnings are great for toys , i have 3 lined up against a wall in my lounge and at the end of the day i dont care how its packed as long as the toys are in there and not on the floor .

a spring clean sounds good , i did one of my rooms yesterday and i cant wait to get stuck in to the others !!

We are getting attic storage next week!!

we are getting flooring put down and a pull down ladder and will store things in plastic tubs.

This is desperatly needed as we really have no storage and study is pilled with plastic tubs and bixes.

thats a great idea unfortunately we rent so not happening for us, we do store what we can downstairs but it is all open and i don't want mold or yuckys in them actually most of our kitchen pantry is down stairs in tubs we send the kids down stairs to shop we call it "Can you get me some tinned tomato's, baked beans and moo juice with some corn flakes, and 2 tins of baby food please" even the freezer is under house.

today my down stairs list of shopping is toothpaste, mouth wash and moo juice and sausage rolls.

Hey Squidipa,

We have those cube storage cupboards for DD. It actually fits alot of her stuff and makes the room alot cleaner.

I got mine from Go-Lo and they come seperately ie 4 shelf, 3 shelf, so if you are tight on money you can always get one one month and another another month.

I can send you some pics on how it looks.

They were like 4 shelf for $30, 3 shelf for $20 and 2 shelf for $15

WRT space bags - I think the best way to use them is to seal stuff in them, then put the space bags in the big plastic tubs, to keep them compact and the air doesn't seem to come back into them as easily.

I have attic storage with the ladder and it is sensational. But hard when renting... But I know we will get it done in all our places, if possible... But be warned, our is quite junky and needs a good clean out... You do have to keep on top of it, like any storage area.

p.s. Great thread. Thanks.
