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

At the moment sitting on top of a bookshelf in a closet in my workroom. One day I plan to make a proper display, but right now keeping them from my cats are more important!

 

I have a shoebox.

 

My dolls sit on my bookshelves, and I have a few that have a little basket beside my bed. xD

I have a cabinet that I'm turning into a dollhouse that stores a few things, and the bulk of everything is in plastic bins in my closet or under my bed. Everything is unfortunately kinda spread out, but I do at least know where everything is.

 

I have a second closet in my room, it has a bookshelf and a ledge inside. I store all the stuff in boxes/bins and my doll gets to sit on the shelf or the ledge. It works for now, until I move into a nicer space.

 

My dolls sit on my bookshelf.

I keep their clothing in a plastic drawer organizer categorized by type - I have a drawer each for shirts, pants, dresses/skirts, and shoes.

 

My dolls sit on a shelf in a closet and their clothing is in various types of storage boxes... which I really need to organize

 

My MSD dolls are currently wrapped in blankets inside a hard shell suitcase. Its a lot better than the doll bag they were in before. (Can't leave my dolls out anywhere, because I have little birds that like to chew and poop on things. -And by chew I mean like a dog would a bone. House has a lot of natural day light let in through windows too.)
Their clothes are stored inside a flat bag in there as well. Everything of theirs is organized in baggies, and different compartments/ pockets.

My tinies are wrapped in blankets in a swim purse, with all their things organized in baggies & a small pirate chest.

 

My dolls stay in their original boxes when not on display in a glass-fronted case, which is actually a converted rifle cabinet. I took out the piece that the gun barrels would rest on and replaced it with a plexiglass shelf. Since I have a lot of stuff, I have clothes, props, wigs, etc. stored in cardboard "banker's boxes," each labeled with the size of doll: Uncle (over 62 cm), SD, MSD, YOSD & tinies. Eyes, lashes, and other small things go in compartmented plastic cases. If you want a nice case with a handle on top, look at cheap cases for carrying fishing lures- much cheaper than basically the same thing sold in craft stores! My next plan to to make attractive labels for the doll boxes. Since they look like a stack of sarcophagi, a cartouche or plaque with the doll's name in antique script will help me identify which box to slide out when I want a particular doll.

 

The top of my drawers is currently Musou's room. He has a clear set of drawers with all his clothes and accesories and some toys in, a second set of drawers (winnie the pooh) with more toys in and some bits that are more for me (eyes, putty and his old wig)... his floor and things are also have toys and i have a big clear plastic box I keep toys and props in!

 

I actually have a little armoire my grandfather made when I was really into my American Girl doll. Now, it stores all of my bjd stuff. I'm sure when I get more stuff I'll have to start putting things somewhere else, but since all I have are tinies, everything is fitting in there all right. For now. :P

 

At the moment, I keep clothes and wigs in a small sealed container, with the intent to get a larger one in the future. I keep eyes in an even smaller one. Accessories? I don't have a container for them, but I do intend to get one.

 

i didnt use to have any good way of keeping the clothes and accesories. I actually ended up loosing some thing, just cause I misplaced them.
And I was worried I wouldn't be able to have a good way to hold them all, cause I really, really dont have a lot of room in well, my room.

But then we were in target, and I saw some plastic tubs that would fit under my bed! So now I just keep everything in there! So neat, and I dont loose anything anymore!

 

A friend of mine used to buy those plastic shoe boxes with removable lids you can find at the dollar store and proceed to drill holes on the far ends, then insert and hot glue thin wooden dowels. They would then bend wire into small hooks and hang things on them to let them dry in closed container (they used it for painting small objects) where dust couldn't get on them.

I think with a bigger box (or smaller doll clothes) they could serve pretty well as portable and stackable closets that you can see right into. You'd probably get less space overall from the box as compared to if you just layered clothes in it, but at least you don't have to worry about wrinkles.

 

When their room box is ready, my puki's will be living in that. In the mean time they spend their time on my bed.

As for for their clothing, toys and accessories, because a lot of it is so small, I have everything separated into (hello kitty) ziplock bags, sorted by size and importance (ie clothing is more important than their building blocks). I then have all of those in a plastic container so I can flick through the bags quickly.

For everything else that is too big for a ziplock bag, I have various boxes stored with that stuff in it.

Considering I only have two puki's (soon to be three) I have enough stuff for them to fill the boot of my car.

 

I have one large plastic container for clothes, one large plastic container for wigs, a small container for little things like accessories, and then another small container for just eyes. (somehow I end up with a lot of those... lol)

As for dolls themselves, I usually store them in a dresser drawer with a kiddy lock on it because I have a cat that likes to open drawers and sit on things inside. If they're not in the drawer, I have them up high on my bookshelf (where cats can't reach them) and usually keep a cloth over them to protect them from the sun.

 

All doll clothing and accessories get large plastic storage bins and are organized inside with large freezer ziplocks.

 

At the moment everything is either in a set of plastic drawers or those plastic shoe tubs, intermixed with various fabrics and such.

 

Like the OP, I hate clutter. I have some drawers in my own dresser for doll clothes, but I'd like to get a wardrobe just for them at some point.

 

In my closet, in big storage bins and away from the light.

 

My MSDs live in a wooden diorama-type box that my dad made for me. It hangs on my wall in my bedroom, out of reach of my dogs. My tinies have a little display on one of the shelves of my bookshelf. As for clothing storage, my tinies don't have a lot, so their stuff is in one shoebox. My MSDs have a jewelry armoire thing that I turned into a closet for their clothes by removing the necklace hangers and rigging up a wooden dowel on the inside. I made some really ugly hangers for it out of some wire. It has two drawers in the bottom of it that I use for storing shoes and other odds and ends.
