[blindkid] storage solutions

[Kasondra Payne]

Debby, I absolutely sympathise with you.  Many of my books are not accessible because they are on bokcases with other things in front of them.  Storage for everything is at a premium in our small apartment.  Last year, I purchased a large cabinet for my kitchen which could probably do what you want, if you have room for something about 7.5 feet tall by 4 feet wide.  It has several shelves and double doors that swing out.  It has a closet bar which can be used or not if desired.  I found this at Lowes, and I use it for excess food like cereal and appliances like my bread maker.  It could work for games and/or books.  The cabinet was about $110, and it only came in white.  I hope this helps.  Good luck, and please tell us what you found.

We need some storage solutions! We're in a house with no garage, no basement, no attic space, very small closets. Where do you store all the Braille books and games?

 Winona has 3 tall bookcases in her room all full without. 1 bookcase with her personal books, toys, little goodies. We still have 6 boxes of books that aren't unpacked. There is no place to store the boxes full of books, and it's easier for Winona to get to them on bookcases. All the teachers have a variety of books, and they jump around in them.

 Our other issue is the games. We turned half the linen closet into a game cabinet, but most of the adapted games (scrabble, monopoly) won't even fit into that cabinet. Where do you store things so that they are accessible and yet not sitting around to be tripped over?

 Thanks for any and all suggestions!
