We are in a rented place, so don't really want to spend money putting up cupboards etc, but we have very very little storage. I'm just about coping in the kitchen, but the diningroom still has stuff that we store in cardboard boxes, and DD has toys all over the place, and not much in the way of decent storage.
I don't have a fortune to spend, and (at least where the toys are concerned), they need to be fairly easily accessible - thinking something that pulls out like drawers, rather than stacked iyswim.
I haven't got a clue really... cardboard boxes vs big bright plastic boxes are both about as horrible as eachother :(
