Wow, that's some serious organization! I support your theory: "If I can fit it inside the closet, then it hasn't become a problem." XD
I have a large VB box from one of my last SVFs, and that holds things I don't use often, like my NO Shopper Tote and Med White Ditty Bag, as well as spare Zip ID Cases. Anything I'm trying to sell (which is a large chunk of my small collection) is in a Hallmark bag on my closet door - taunting me. The three bags I use the most chill out at my desk: a Med White Tote for class on the floor, a NO Bucket Tote for work on the desk top, and a Med White Amy hanging off the chair.
HOWEVER, that being said, I recently acquired another VB box that's about the size of a STTT (length and width wise). I plan to use that to hold smaller items and (hopefully) all my Vera that's coming to college with me!

Great thread! ;D  I put a few of my VB bags on top of the white box, along with some new travel accessories! I store my accessories in the small, green VB boxes. My PWP weekender "lives" in the white and purple VB box that I just received in the mail. I'm not really a VB bag person right now, so I just have a ton of accessories.  The larger boxes store some of my travel items and things I'm trying to sell. I'm trying to find a better home for the towels, so for now, they rest on top of the green boxes   This is most of my shipping supplies. On the left is a stack of my Notepad sets, and on the right is my tissue paper, gift bags, tape, and addy labels. I love wrapping the things I ship like they are gifts!  Bonus picture: How I Store my B&BW! Yes, those boxes are full. The tiny ones on top hold my travel items, the white boxes hold my sprays and other full size items. Below the bottom white box, you can kind of see my rubbermaid container that holds my hair stuff. |

Rachael, Good luck with your first year of college! If you're like me you will somehow end up with more VB than you can use in your dorm  I themed my set with Peacock for the first year and then add on all of my stationary and book bags... oh boy! That box will come in handy  Chelsea, I'm falling for the accessories a lot lately as well- gotta love those green boxes! Love the bonus pic btw! All my bbw is in a drawer of my end table that desperately needs to be cleaned out. I wish I was as organized with everything else as I am with my VB! |

[glow=yellow,2,300] I know we all have different methods, so how do you do it?[/glow] I have a cheap armoir from Ikea that magically fits everything that I have. It has a side of shelves on the outside and one is dedicated to VB stationary and random things I dont want in my accessory boxes. On the door I hang my beach towels. Inside I have 2 green VB boxes full of accessories sitting next to any very large bags and then hanging (from VB hangers of course!) are my bags. My theory is if I can fit it inside the closet, then it hasn't become a problem... my friends and family debate this...
i WISH i had this kind of organization for my VB! my collection has grown so much recently that i have nowhere to put it all. right now, it all hangs out in VB bags...which is a nightmare with cats around (they just love shopping bags)! i definitely need to invest in a place to PUT my VB before I invest in more VB...with no place to put it...LOL |

I didn't actually "invest" in anything to store my VB in. My bf called VB's customer service to ask if we could order some of the small boxes, but the woman he talked to said that they normally didn't do this, but that she could send 6 for free. I ended up with 6 of the big green VB boxes for free. The shipping on the envelope was over $13. Maybe you could try getting some boxes from them?

About a year and half ago, I ordered from VB.com (it was just an accessory or two) and my items did not come in a VB box. So I chatted with customer service and they ended up sending me 3 HUGE boxes. |

It's great, isn't it? We actually did this because the wallets I ordered came in one of the small white boxes with the hot pink inside and I wanted to use that to store accessories. But my boyfriend ended up sitting on the box  So this was the replacement - storage for everything!

Jen - I love your organization!
I recently 'reorganized' all my Vera, or all of it that I could find at the moment! I have two giant rubbermaid tubs in my basement of items I don't use all that often, like my travel piece. Then in my closet are two more rubbermaid tubs with pieces I use more often, with two smaller sized tubs stacked on top full of accessories. The travel pieces that I use a few times a year fill up the top shelf of the closet...and currently my Seaside pieces have no home! I tried to group similar things together, and then I typed up alphabetical lists of everything in each box to tape to the outside, because I was tired of digging through them to find one thing.
