I have a small house and I totally understand your storage woes. What works for me is a sweater storage unit- the cloth kind that hang in the closet and are shelves. I have one that is a kind of cloth that allows the stuff in the shelves to breath but keeps dust out. I keep all the dresses, hats, socks, aprons, etc. laid flat in a stack on the shelves. Each of my historicals takes two shelves, so one standard size unit will hold about three to four historical clothes collections. I don't have as many problems with wrinkles as when I used to fold them and store them in boxes, they're easily accessible and visible without opening a bunch of containers, and I don't have the bulk of hanging all those little clothes (which I tried until I ran out of room and got sick of some dresses that don't get used often getting dusty). Just my own solution- good luck finding yours!

As for accessories, I keep them in their original boxes together as sets and store them in a hope chest. It's a huge chest (about 2' deep, 4' long, and 2' high), so it stores about four historical collections of accessories (no furniture though- that's always on display or in a closet). The biggest challenge for me is storing furniture, since I currently can only display one doll's collection at a time. [img]frown.gif[/img]

Hoping for a doll room in our new house...
