How do you store your BJD, clothes, and accessories?

I have a series of plastic totes with little plastic containers inside of them to contain their things for now. Once we move I may do something different, maybe a drawer system.

 

I have a small metal lunch box that looks like a suitcase, it's 'Paddington's' suitcase, I got it from the cinema when I went to see the third Hobbit film. It's perfect for storing clothing and items as I don't have a lot and it's a suitcase, so it makes sense!

 

I live in an apartment without any pets~ I store most of my BJD inside their original boxes and the extra floating heads in seperate plastic boxes (bought from the 1 dollar shop). Since the weather in Taiwan is very humid, I preserve my BJD leather shoes in an electronic dry cabinet along with my camera lenses. The eyes are also stored in their original boxes and the ones without boxes inside my jewelry box, they look pretty with my rings :p Clothes stuffed inside shoe boxes and zip locks. I really need to find more space for my fabrics though...they are taking up too much space!!!

 

At the moment in a cardboard box (i've bought an outfit in advance of receiving my bjd) but I'm going to get a plastic container. Eventually I'm going to buy or make a little wardrobe

 

I bought a plastic drawer for my doll stuff. I originally had all my doll clothes in clear plastic containers but I was running out of space because I mainly own SDs. I rand out of space in those containers quickly and I spent less than $15 on a tall organizer. It looks like a dresser and it fits perfectly under my desk, plus it has three drawers in it. I can keep everything organized.

 

I also have a 3 drawer plastic dresser for bjd clothes and accessories. Some bigger boxed items have to go in the closet top shelf though. As for the girls, they either go with me or sit around the room, especially on the bookshelves.

 

I really wish I had an organized and easy arranging for my dolls' clothes but I've just been kind of lazy with that... Right now I've just got everything in different kinds of boxes and it's so ridiculously hard to find a specific item sometimes. Some things are in the boxes with the dolls, some with my off topic dolls.. It's all a mess, really.

But reading your replies gave me some ideas what I could do with them. A Little wardrobe would be just amazing! I just need to get on with it now.

 

We set up a little closet. We bought a narrow and short BILLY bookcase with a door, from IKEA. Under a couple shelves we screwed an eye screw close to each edge, then ran a dowel through. When the shelves are in the book case, hang bars are created to hang all the clothes. The other shelves are for wigs and shoes. It's a bit pricey, but things are easy to find.

I have a bucket. When the bucket gets too full I start selling stuff that's no longer relevant to my collection's tastes. It's worked pretty well so far.

 

As I collect other types of dolls and figures as well as bids, I use sterilite drawers to sort out the various outfits and accessories.

 

I actually posted our (mine and ChocolateDecadence) doll room a while ago on Tumblr.
Most of the dolls are in Ikea Detolf cabinets, standing on white cubes, or in one of the Billys.
In the cubes we have all the resin parts and props, while we store their clothes here (old photo, except for the white cabinets everything has changed since then):


Two on the left are mine, right one belongs to Choco.
The little tags on my side either say the character (like, "Roman" which means all of the pieces I use exclusively for Roman) or describe the overall topic of the drawer's inside (wigs, dark clothes etc.).

 

Most of my doll's stuff are in ziploc bags in my craft storage drawers. I do want to get like a little trunk or something to put them all together.

 

My dolls were in a glass-front display case until I ran out of room in it (they were sharing it with my anime figure collection and were eventually crowded out!), so now they're in a downstairs hobby room, hanging out on square shelves too small for my cat to jump into. Their clothes and such are stored in Sterilite bins with their names labeled on the top.

 

My dolls sit on a bookcase and just hang out. I use small clear marked tubs for clothes and shoes and their wigs. I just close them up and put them away when I don't need anything. But I need a better way to store stuff because I am losing space... lol

 

I use different Ziplock bags to sort my clothes out by size, brand or origin (handsewn, 2nd hand ect.) and I put al of those in a special cupboard in my room

 

I keep mine in an antique corner hutch. The shelves are adjustable if I wanted to display my dolls, but I keep the accessories in there and the dolls in a bag I made, because if I stored the dolls in the hutch I would not have room for the accessories! Plus storing my girls in the bag keeps the sun off of them.

 

Plastic boxes for clothes.

 

I use a small set of plastic drawers meant for stationary. Sounds similar to what you said you had.

 

I have four relatively small boxes with everything in them. One for wigs, one for clothes, one for everything else (eyes, shoes), and one for supplies (cleaning stuff, string, etc). They are in my closet and to me, look out of place and kind of just stuffed in there. I am actively trying to figure out a better system.
