Does anyone have good ideas for where to put tote bags so they are somewhat organized? I have several I keep filled and ready. There is a 4H bag, swim bag, church bag, everyday bag(keeps stuff I use daily-calendar, business stuff, clipboard, etc.) and daughter has about the same bags too. I need to do something with them other than on the floor.
From KitKuttu
I use one part of my closet containing only shelves for kits, bags and personal care supplies. I store tote/kit bags that are not used on a daily basis on a shelf in the closet, below a shelf containing smaller kit bags (such as, for mainures/pedicures, evening make up, medicines, etc), and store the few totes that are used daily or more frequently during the week hung on hangers in my closet for daily wear.

Martha S. was on hand bags yesterday.
Some bags for some type folk;
like with pocket on the inside for phone & grooming items.
I like a pocket on the out side for my phone and water
for easy access.
A belt bag is great for ATV ing.
I like to keep one by the door on a hook;
or in a shelf. I need to work on the landing zone
by the kitchen door to the carport.

Lavender I thought of the same thing that KitKuttu did - a shelf in the closet so you can line yours up on one side and your daughter's up on the other side.
Do you have a mudroom with shelves behind closed doors? Or a place in a mudroom to put coat hooks vertical instead of horizontal. That would even work in a closet.
Another thing for a closet are the containers that hang from the rod and have shelves that hang down. I think since you can put a sweater flat in them that a tote bag would fit.
What about a bench with a lid that lifts and the bags could go in there.
I can't think of anything else right now.
I'm sorry I missed this thread earlier.

I am going to put totes on the rack by the kitchen door
as grands are no longer living here
and I can use the spot for me now!

lavender I was listening to TV while working on the computer this morning. They talked about 2 products.
The hanging shelf thing made of canvas and they used the cubbies for shoes. When looking at it I think totes would fit.
hanging bag
They are the “6 or 10 Compartment Hanging Bag”
The other thing they showed were dividers for shelves:
dividers
It is the “Solid Shelf Dividers”
I like the dividers for a shelf because it would corral the bags so they wouldn’t tip when one is taken out.
