Just curious if you have their trunks or just keep them all in a box or have a special place for your AG things...
Since I do not have a lot of AG things right now, I have some of the things in their original boxes (the boxes I still have) and the rest in a shoe box.
I would like to find a small shelf unit or something or other when my collection grows.
I use an old book case with adjustable shelves, and tension curtain rods to hang the clothes on. I also use the cardboard box that one outfit comes in from AG to put accessories and slide it under one of the adjustable shelves. On the top shelf I put hats, and little things. I also have a shoe box top to put shoes in and I slide under a shelf. My problem is forgetting which little accessories goes with each outfit.
I don't really have a space for my AG items yet. My dolls are on my bed and the oufits are in AG boxes on a shelf with AG and L.M. Montgomery books. I have to majorly clean my room this summer and get rid of some childhood stuff to make room for my dolls and make my room neater.
You are all too organized. I'm impressed. I have my 3 AG gals just on my bed. I keep their extra clothes in whatever type box I can find. I have Samantha's trunk but it is not nearly big enough for her collection. It is kind of a stupid, trunk if you ask me. Now her stuff is in a plain box, Felicity's stuff I actually keep in a big tin box held a big care package of stuff from Germany but I can lay her clothes nice and flat in it. My AGT stuff is in a little pink case someone gave to me. The furniture is packed away since I don't have anywhere to set it up. Someday I hope to have a place for it all.
Right now everything is stored in 4 containers I got from my local store--3 bucks for the small ones, 5 for the large (they were 75% off). I hope to get Addy's Trunk one day.
We have multiple ways in which we store all out stuff and we still are looking for more storage ideas though. We have Addy and Josefina's trunks. I really like them because they hold a lot. We have large hat boxes for all the historicals and three five drawer plastic carts to hold the today stuff. We have the storage hangers that AG sells, but they don't really work well. The dolls are just displayed all over the house. We also have five large plastic tubs to hold the larger items. We still have tons of stuff still needing a place. If anyone can think of a good way to store Samantha's sleigh I would appreciate it I am thinking about having my husband make two large stand alone wood cupboards with small rods across so we can hang all the historical and today clothing. I get rid of all the boxes except those for some large items because they just take up more space.
Boop, I like your idea of using the bookcase. I wonder if it would be hard to add doors to a bookcase like that so you can hide doll things when they aren't being used and so DH can't see how much there really is Your set-up looks really nice and organized!
Thank you, but if you could see it right now my dolly area is not so neat. I hang the AGOT clothes on the left and it is now totally full. I do have two purple lockers and I'll use them next but I was hoping to use them for sports equiptment and fishing gear, outdoorsey stuff. And yes doors would be nice, I never thought I would ever accumulate this much stuff. Did someone say AG was ADDICTING??? What a GONER I am.
LOL! I fully understand where you are coming from. When we were getting all this stuff, it didn't seem so bad, but now I look at it all and wonder where in the world I am going to put all of it. My daughter and I have started to weed out things we either no longer want or we haven't taken out in a while. We finally reached a point where a lot of things aren't being played with because it just takes too long to find where it is. Yes, AG is very addicting! Thanks again for the pictures
It would be nice if I could ever get off my ARSE and take pictures of out little loft. It is more the size of a small walk in closet. About 5X8. There are shelves lining the top of the area and all of the books my kids have are set into those. Then in one of the 5 foot sections, under a row of shelves, Is plastic drawers and spring rods to hold all of our AG goodies. Lining the bottom are our trunks and boxes for the dog sled and such.
Ya know what I just realized having typed this up? I don't hvae enough room for my stuff in that "closet" space. I am sick sick sick.
Whatca waiting for?? It sounds like we NEED to see these pictures. Really, it sounds like a nice setup. So the question is, do you get a larger space only to fill it up with more AG or keep the space you have and just try to shove more in it?
