It stores easily with little space and it also eliminates creases. One of the places I worked at would fold the fitted sheet and the flat sheet into long rectangles, maybe 1 foot by 3 feet. Then they'd fold the pillowcases and place them on top of the rectangles. Everything was then rolled together into a little bundle - the 2 sheets and 2 pillow cases. So when you wanted to make a bed you just grabbed the one bundle and everything was together. My mom and I now use this with our bed linens at home. It's so easy to just put on a shelf. When company comes, you grab one bundle and can make a bed. You don't need to sort around looking for matching sheet sizes or find that missing pillow case!Christinahttp://www.dinneratchristinas.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-50054876653317736532012-02-03T11:57:30.566-06:002012-02-03T11:57:30.566-06:00my grandfather taught me the rolling trick when I ...my grandfather taught me the rolling trick when I was a kid...evidently it was the military way when he was in the army<br />I LOVE it!!<br />our house is also very small (about 900 sq ft.) one bedroom and the only closet is one my husband built because I couldn't stand never being able to find any of my craft supplies<br />I also have no real kitchen cabinets<br />half of our furniture opens for storage...but my fav space saver is the 'over the door' shoe organizer!<br />I have one on each side of the bathroom door..one on the kitchen side and one for the bathroom...and one on the inside of my craft closet door<br />it's AMAZING how much stuff they hold..and if you get the clear ones..everything is easy to find :)brandelionhttp://brandelionwhine.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-79129846728542742812012-01-30T19:34:25.737-06:002012-01-30T19:34:25.737-06:00I always roll when I pack my suitcase, but I have ...I always roll when I pack my suitcase, but I have never thought to do it at home.

She always rolls her clothes in her suitcase when she goes out of town. Now I do the same and I roll everything in our dresser drawers. It's so nice for kids clothes because you can roll outfits like leggings and tops together.Kristen Change of Pacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-17989577265168604642012-01-29T11:31:36.295-06:002012-01-29T11:31:36.295-06:00I need to do this!

I can relate to your moving- we moved back to Tama when Ella was two weeks old into a house half the price and smaller- but we have survived:)Jacque kopsanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-42499135381584775492012-01-29T08:24:02.452-06:002012-01-29T08:24:02.452-06:00I like it!

We have a pretty small place too, so I do my best to use all the vertical space I can...the storage closet has a tall 6-shelf unit inside that we got at home depot or something. Also, we have a place above a cabinet where I put a tension rod with a plain-colored valance curtain so I could store stuff up above without it looking tacky. Hopefully that makes sense:)majanoreply@blogger.com
