A question I received recently was where do I store my stockpile. The answer is…. everywhere! Find space that isn’t being used and utilize it. I do not have a garage or a basement, so storage is a problem at my house.
Here are some ideas:
- Get decorative boxes to use in your kitchen above the cabinets
- Organize under your bathroom counters and install shelves
- Put an extra shelf in your pantry or above your washing mashine
- Put risers on your bed to raise it allow for more storage underneath
Really anywhere that you can put an extra shelf, do it!
An odd place at my house where we store items is….. UNDER THE COUCH! Yes, under the couch. We have a couch that came from Ikea that we bought for a fraction of the price on craigslist. It is a section and under each of the long parts, there is a drawer that slides out for storage! I keep all our toiletries under here that we need often – deoderant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shoebox full of sample/trial size items. No one even knows it’s there!
How about you? What unique places have you found to store your stockpile?

My son is now a toddler, so I moved his changing table into our master bathroom, it doesn’t look bad at all and has 3 nice big shelves to store things in baskets and bins so it doesn’t look like a store shelf!
