two of the drawers are so full, they are very difficult to close... it's kinda like sitting on a suitcase to close the latches LOL

Don't waste your money! Those Space Bags do not maintain vacuum. I bought both the brand name Space Bags, and Walmart's generic vacuum bags and, and neither one stayed vacuumed for more than a few days. They looked good when I first sucked the air out, but when I went back later they had filled back up again. I kept them and I still use them for batting scraps, but you can't use them as space saver bags the way they advertise.

Hmmm! I have an old chest of drawers. This may be much prettier than currently in plastic bins. I will be in the downstairs space and there is a wall that maybe I could put a dresser of fabric.

Love that dresser! Have you looked at scrap quilts? I am making one now called Irish Stars through a quilt along on the website Weddingdressbluewordpress.com. She loves scrappy quilts and does a gorgeous job on them!!! Very willing to offer advice and yardage requirements, tons of tutorials. Don't remember how I got to this website, but Love everything about the site and the quilter.
