Seeing your organized Xmas Decor reminded me my goal for ”The Great Purge of 2022" is Xmas Decor containment. I've always been organized. It's the volume that is out of control. I already told the family to come shopping my Xmas Decor this year. Every single container is being removed from the garage. Hopefully they will walk away with more than I keep. (Containers and all) 2022 is going to be the year that I Reign It In.

She opens the doors, wheels it out and the doors close behind it. It's amazing!! haha... I'd have never thought of it...but now that she's older, she admits it's the only reason she continues to have a tree, because if she had to put it all up by herself and then take it down annually, she just wouldn't do it! :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398571706808821492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-58470823846301320622021-12-29T22:00:36.163-05:002021-12-29T22:00:36.163-05:00Because I don't have a central storage area (o...Because I don't have a central storage area (other than the attic which I no longer use), I store decorations by room together, often in the room in which they are displayed. If I am particularly happy with a display, I take a picture of it and save it in my seasonal decoration folder. I also print a hard copy for backup and store it with the appropriate decorations.

My biggest problem is storing a fake tree and not have it get musty/moldy smelling. I'm in New England and have a concrete basement that is not climate controlled and no garage or attic. The storage in the eaves gets extraodinarily hot in the summer and frigid in the winter. Any suggestions would be really helpful!Guerrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896747944152857012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-54658087856974760672021-12-28T02:04:53.727-05:002021-12-28T02:04:53.727-05:00Such great and helpful ideas for organize storage!...Such great and helpful ideas for organize storage!

My dream...Such a great idea for storing your trees. My dream house would have a tree closet off of the main living area to store two or three fully decorated trees that would sit on wheels and could just be rolled in and out. Ha! That will likely never happen...I can dream.<br />I switched to clear plastic storage bins three years ago and like you, I used smaller bins. It makes it so much easier. I do label mine with a standard form printed on 8.5 x 11 card stock that I just slip down into the bin in the side that will be visible when the bin is stored on the shelf. That way it is easy to see and read exactly what's in there when I take them down and I know which bin they belong in when I put things away again. <br />Looking forward to lots more of your great projects and tips this year!Vickihttps://velishartstudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-40938848545292900122021-01-06T15:35:09.636-05:002021-01-06T15:35:09.636-05:00The garland is soft, but I use cup hooks underneat...The garland is soft, but I use cup hooks underneath to hang it. :)Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-46662858308595354642021-01-06T12:38:37.198-05:002021-01-06T12:38:37.198-05:00I LOVE LOVE LOVE stand-up tree storage!!!

To answer your question, yes, I have an itemized list on the box of what is in each box. Now of course that isn't anything new, but it is very helpful when PUTTING AWAY things. The biggest way it helps me is as I pack each box I see my list, and then remember to get the bells from the front doorknob, etc. If I don't do that it seems like every year, everything is all put away (in basement here) and then I spy some Christmas books, a pillow, kitchen towels, or something that got missed. Arg! So this helps keep me from missing an item! <br />I really admire your system, and am always trying to improve mine. Having an organized method helps make it more 'enjoyable'. Thanks and Happy New Year!
