Blessedw2 ~ Great job, both with finding a solution to the laundry mountain and in decluttering clothes.
Harriet ~ Harmony mentioned the dorm-size bathroom storage. There is something to that, especially for your DD. Check in the makeup section of Target and places like that for travel cases, as well as in the luggage department.
Here is the set of cases that I recently bought to take to sewing retreats:

Hmm, well it isn't exactly the same, because mine came with 2 extra clear pods instead of the velvet ones. I bought them because I thought it was a decent price compared to the time it would take me to sew that many zippered bags.
I've used them twice now and so far so good. The smaller one has my travel size personal care items, and the large one holds my sewing tools and threads. Yes, I realize that anyone else would switch those around.
I like the fact that they roll up for storage, but also roll out to either lie flat or hang on a hook.
I love the fact that it is separate pouches. Before I got these, I used a travel case and a sewing box, and in both cases I had to paw through everything to find the item I wanted. Now I have my toothbrush & toothpaste in one pod, and it's separate from my deodorant, which is separate from my earrings.
Since the shopping site has been selling these for awhile, I would guess there is a version sold in stores. I know I have seen this designer's (Joy Mangano) hangers in Target.
