Want to know a secret about me? I hate wasting space.
Actually, I take that back. I hate wasting space on things that aren’t pretty and/or functional.
So when I saw this idea about how to condense a mountain of dvd’s, I knew some all Bluerays, CDs, and DVD’s in our house were about to get a new home. Thanks for agreeing to let me do this, G.
I found a decorative shoebox at Christmas Tree Shop for $2.50 {fun fact, Christmas Tree Shop is actually a pretty great store and interestingly enough, does not sell Christmas Trees} and picked up 2 packs of 50 cd/dvd sleeves at Staples for $5 each.
After putting each disc in its sleeve {making sure the dvd was facing out so you could see the label}, I then alphabetized them, and made some dividers to make it quicker to find. I took a few minutes to create a little catalog to tape inside the box too, which makes picking a movie easier than thumbing through the discs.
Now our Blueray/CD/DVD collection sits secretly on a shelf on our console.
Well, I guess maybe not secretly since I’m writing about it here.
Do you have a mountain of DVD’s in your house too?

Very cute! I tried a couple of different things for ours (which is a lot with two little girls and a mama who love Disney movies) but not quite as pretty. I may have to try this one :).
Ha! They add up quickly don’t they? Maybe you could do a completely separate box for the Disney movies!
So clean and nice!
Whoa. Love this!!
thanks Karen! never thought I’d say I loved DVD’s, but now I do:)
Impressive! This is a great tip for organization!!
Thanks Tanisha!
So, what did you do with the old cases? Throw ’em away or just boxed ’em up and stored them out of sight?
Great question, Amanda! Right now they are sitting in a moving box in our attic. If we ever move and they haven’t been touched, they’re going in the trash! 🙂
The idea is to save space…why store the jackets now the DVDs have been reorganized. Toss them.
Hey Eugenia! They got moved to the attic temporarily to make sure we didn’t have any organizational regret 🙂 You’ll be happy to know that after not accessing them for a couple of months they were discarded!
