The Tablescaper is hosting a meme about storage called, “Where do you keep it all?” I don't have the beautiful sets of china that many bloggers have, but I do have a good supply of holiday decorations.I used to store those items in our attic, but it became a big deal to lug them up and down. Later on, we stored them in the guest room closets.
When we moved into our new home this past December, for the first time, we had the luxury of too much space! I decided to use one of the extra bedrooms to store all of our holiday decorations. I've named this room The Holiday Room.
Johnny and I went to Ikea and bought these three storage units. They measure 7'9"H x 9'8"W. Some folks use them as closets. The insides can be configured any way a person might choose. We purchased them in January, which was a perfect time because Ikea was offering FREE installation with the purchase! (That saved quite a BIG headache!)
The color of the storage units is a dark gray.
You can see St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Autumn, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations at a glance in this last unit.
After next Christmas, I plan to put away many of our items unpackaged. I prefer having items on view on the shelves rather than in the plastic bins.
The first unit contains our Christmas tree, so we did not put so many shelves in it. Look, there's even some room for other items! Our Holiday Room makes storage so much easier.
