Organizing a BLT studio

[flipflopmom]

I am pretty OCD about things being in their place. We bring a lot of um... stuff with us, and I am pretty sure that I won't have room for any of it. 4 of us will be a squeeze, me, DH, dd3,and dd10. Won't be in the room a lot, but our stuff will.

1. Closet - Room for suitcases inside? Wondering if I should put them back in the car after I unpack?

2. Toiletries - In the past, I use an over the door shoe thing on the bathroom door for sunscreens, hair stuff, etc. Since there is a sliding bathroom door, other than the entry door, is there anywhere I could hang this? Is the area in front of the closet a good place (on front of closet door?) We won't be bringing much food, so I am wondering about the slide out pantry area.

3. Shoes - 4 people, I think we usually bring 3 pair each. Again, thought about a shoe holder for the closet door, but put this one on the inside if the other is on the outside. Any appropriate shelving?

4. Stroller - where oh where can I put the stroller?

5. Dh uses a CPAP. I know it won't fit on the micronightstand, but it there room on the other side of the bed for it in the floor? Is there an outlet there?

Thanks for all the help!

There are outlets near the couch side of the bed and I think there will be room on the floor for it- it may be partially under the couch when opened though.

I can't think of any door in the studio where you can put and over the door holder- We put our suitcase in the area where the connecting door is- you may want to return your suitcases to the car and use that area for the stroller. The sink is in the kitchen so you may just want to put the toiletries in some of the pull out shelving in the kitchen- there is a lot of room in the pantry.

I can't think of a good spot for that many poairs of shoes- I would probably put them under the edge of the end of the queen bed- the children's shoes at least should fit under the small lip there.

IOn the other hand there are large drawers for clothes and some other higher shelving. Another poissibility for the shoes is sticking them in the bathroom- I seem to remeber that had a lot of floor space(but of course that means you can't get to them while someone is using it).

1.
There is a ton of drawer space under the tv in front of the bed. If you don't mind unpacking. The closet is small & has a stand up safe in the way. (I don't remember if there's a vacuum in there too)


2.
I use "Snap Hooks" as seen on tv. They actually work .
I found collapsible canvas boxes a little larger than a shoe box. I pack all our food in these and they fit on the shelves on either kitchen or bath side easily.
We didn't use the pull out.


3.
We have this same prob. This trip I'm bringing a shoe organizer that hangs in the closet, we'll see how that goes. Or you could use the many drawers.

4.
We were in a lock off & because of the outside curve of the building, there was plenty of room near the entry door to leave the umbrella stroller open.

DH and I both use a CPAP. The resort gift shops do not carry distilled water (althought the CM said they get requests for it all the time). I am OK using tap water in my machine.....not DH. He just did not use his humidifier. So you will need to take that if he needs it. We each had an outlet and were fine. I always take a collapsible hamper. We were at AKV in a studio.

I know that the screen door at BWV does have distilled water in 1 gal jugs and we were just there last week. Just call and check.
