dvd organization

I love having a great movie collection. I hate how much space they take up! Especially when you have limited space to store all those DVDs. I purchased Atlantic DVD sleeves to store our DVDs and to get rid of the plastic boxes DVDs come in.

I looked at many DVD storage options and decided on the Atlantic DVD sleeves for a couple of reasons:

1} You can store the cover art with the DVD

2} Each sleeve fits two disks and are perfect for 2-disc special edition movies

3} The size of the sleeve lets me still store the DVDs in our DVD tower (from IKEA)

I found the sleeves at Target. They only had three packs in stock. Unfortunately, I did not have enough to put one movie in each sleeve so I had to double up on some movies. I grouped similar movies together.

I put the movies in alphabetical order. I used a system to file sleeves that have two movies in them. For example: I filed Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles under Sixteen Candles. In place of where Pretty in Pink would be filed is a piece of paper indicating where Pretty in Pink can be found {with Sixteen Candles}. {sorry if it is a little confusing :-/}

I made some file like boxes out of cardboard to store the DVDs so they would fit in the storage tower. Of course, I jazzed them up with some paint and fabric.

There are over 100 movies there! I love the way this turned out! Getting rid the plastic DVD boxes saves so much space! These sleeves are a great way to downsize your media storage space. There are many other options out there like DVD binders and DVD files, so find what works for you!
