Friends! Let’s talk DVD organization shall we? Needless to say when you have kids you buy a lot of DVD’s. Or at least we do. Before we moved we paired down our DVD collection a lot. I can’t bring myself to part with our favorite Disney DVD’s and even with so many movies being available online or streaming, I can’t just let go of some of our favorites.

I decided to organize our DVD’s and video games because they’re visible. We keep them in these media storage containers I got from The Container Store years ago (similar containers here). In our previous home I wanted to get a couple more but now just having the four works out great for us.
We currently have this three tiered glass media cabinet. I’d honestly prefer for a lot of this stuff to be concealed. We have the cable box, the modem, the router, the Xbox it’s so much. I try to keep it tidy. And yes, I am almost always watching The Office, my favorite show 🙂
In the first container I keep the video games. So far they’ve been good about putting them back in here…after I’ve gotten on them a few times that is. 😉
The rest of the containers hold the majority of our DVD collection. Lots of Disney movies, Christmas movies and a few of mommy’s movies/shows like Sex and the City 🙂
My goal is to keep it looking this neat on a consistent basis. These are a similar container option for your movies and video games.
I do have my workout DVD’s in our Cubeicles Storage container so they’re out of the way. I have a couple of workout DVD’s that come in different size packaging, so this works out great. I also keep the controllers for the Xbox here too otherwise they’d always be on the floor.
It’s a good feeling when I look at my TV area and it’s not a hot mess. Which is why DVD organization was something that had to happen right away. Now I can cross that off the list and move on to the next thing…I’ll be at this for a while. 🙂 I’m still trying to figure out the best way to organize my kitchen, the kids closets, and our master closet. I’ll bring you along on the journey!
I appreciate you for spending some time with me today. It means the world to me that we get to hang out every so often! Here’s to a great rest of your week!!
It is really a nice trick to save the DVDs collection. Thanks for sharing this economical idea.
I love being organised. You done great job here.
I love the little boxes I can find at my local Walmart, Target, and even Dollar General. Wonderful post. Have you considered sharing on YouTube? I watch and save videos like this on a daily basis. 🙂 I love DIY projects!
yeah I’m all for finding containers as inexpensive as possible! No, I haven’t considered YouTube for stuff like this but thanks for planting that seed! 🙂
cute containers! love the idea of separating the movies by type to make it even easier! we just have everything thrown into two drawers. my one year old loves to take them out & put them back in her own way, so i gave up trying to organize those!

thanks! Yeah I definitely went through that stage as well 🙂
I am still working on reorganizing all of our DVDs I actually bought different sleeves to put them all in and got rid of the hard plastic cases. They take up so much less space!
I’ve seen those and I know Erin at Sunny Side Up has done that https://www.thesunnysideupblog.com/2018/01/dvd-organization-the-best-solution/
