<p>The son is still at school but most of his stuff is sitting in the living room.I brought a car load home this week. He is playing at graduation and so gets to stay till tomorrow. Any suggestions for storage? Plastic containers, boxes???</p>
<p>Most of the stuff is bedding and clothes. He isn’t going to wear the suits, tux or shirts etc that he needed for school/performances until next school year. We have 2 spare bedrooms but I will have to move lots of my stuff out of the closet if I hang up clothes. Also I hate the smell of moth balls and the cedar sweater hangers don’t work any more. How do I make sure we don’t find bug bites in clothes come September? </p>
<p>I am not Miss Organization so any hints will be very helpful.</p>
<p>How about the large cardboard wardrobe boxes that you get when you are moving? You can hang all the clothes in there on the rod, put the cover over it and put it in the basement or attic. They aren’t expensive plus they fold flat when you are finished with them so they store easily.</p>
<p>I was thinking about those, too; you can buy them from U-Haul. (After we were finished with them, we donated them to a local performing arts school for costume storage.) (Referring to post #2)</p>
<p>My son asked where his “stuff” was going to go when he came home. I replied…back in your room…that’s where it all came from." And that is where it is. His concert clothes are drycleaned and hanging in his closet (he doesn’t HAVE any other hang up clothes). He regular clothes are in the dresser drawers. His school file (music etc) is in his room. The fridge and under bed boxes (empty) are being stored in the basement until he needs them in January (he’s doing a study abroad in the fall…won’t need those then). Be careful about storing things in the basement (mildew) and the attic (moths).</p>
<p>I moved my entire apartment into my room… with the exception of a few things, which i packed up in plastic tub’s and put on the attic. (my blankets and stuff). I also put all of my kitchen and bathroom supplies on the attic as well. Everything else somehow fit back into my room.</p>
<p>Just tried the vacuum bags–They are Wonderful. Going back to Target to get more large, the Xl were just too big. Thanks for the suggestion-I had no idea how well they work. I started putting the electrical stuff in white storage boxes but looks like son plans to set up his speakers in his room.<br>
Wish we had basements or useful attics in CA.</p>
