I live in a small one bedroom apartment, and it wasn't easy to figure it out, and yes I went up.. Ceilings are 10 feet. I bought ten sweater containers. I folded , and labelled all that went into them, and it looks pretty nice.. You could also put the containers under the bed. I could also use my computer desk. I have a 6 foot piece of wood with four legs. I bought it at IKEA. I could also stack eight of the containers side by side if I got rid of the dog house.. I cut at a table across the room, but I could also cut sitting on the couch with a mat on the cocktail table.. Anyway, necessity is the mother of invention. Have fun, and be creative.
