For the storage under the eves, maybe there is a way to put tubs or shelves on wheels to easily move them in and out?

Ditto, I was thinking the same thing about the wheels and using a design wall that is portable.

I'm like you, I don't think a flannel display wall would hold blocks on those slopes, but I think a Block Butler might, because it is definitely sticky to touch. Otherwise, what about the kind of display wall that some people use, that is like a roller blind? If you fixed it to one of those sloping ceilings, when you pulled it down, it would hang straight.

You have a terrific room, and I envy you all that space.

Regarding the Block Butler. I had been wanting to get one for several years and I finally bought one, the 6 foot size. It sticks to the wall just fine but when I place my blocks on it, they fall off, sometimes the same day. Perhaps it is due to high humidity. So I then stuck pins to hold them to the design wall. That worked but then the glue stuck to the pins and now I have to clean the pins.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

My sister owns a house with the same under the eve storage problem... she recessed dressers and bookcases in place of the doors. She even had an insert made that pulls out and has a hanging rod on it so she can hang clothes and such on it.
