The struggle isn't necessarily how to store them, but having the room to store them, and in a manner I like. For me, I like seeing them, which is why I love clear boxes, or the ones you showcased here from Ikea. Some hats sit upon shelves in my closet, others hang on padded nails on the wall of my closet, others sit upon those shelf clinging vintage hat stands upon a shelf outside of my closet, and then very delicate ones reside in hatboxes in the bedroom, each with post-its that say what is inside.Janeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179447682223205557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-11778376348322125442016-01-14T17:23:26.606-07:002016-01-14T17:23:26.606-07:00I know what you mean about forgetting about hats w...I know what you mean about forgetting about hats when they are boxed away, I have started keeping a document with photos of each hat to reference when I am planning out outfits.

When I find a solution I'll let you know. I have to work on it though, because my hat collection just keeps growing and growing! I like the clear pane shoe box from Ikea though ~ I'll have to try that one out! ❤<br /><br />xox,<br />bonita of <a href="http://www.lavenderandtwill.com/" rel="nofollow">Lavender & Twill</a>Lavender and Twillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331125027969557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-86821343606954136602016-01-10T00:53:36.833-07:002016-01-10T00:53:36.833-07:00Thanks Porcelina!

I know, and have heard firsthand from elderly ladies, that a lot of women used their very largest hat boxes to store multiple chapeaus in, but beyond, that I can't say as though I've come across too much on this topic (as it pertains to back in the day).<br /><br />Your own ideas are terrific! I really like the idea of labeling each container with a photo of the contents.
