Hi! I recently purchased a storage drawer/box thing from Muji to store my twillys. Each drawer is the width of a twilly but you will need to fold the twilly length wise. I have 4 or 5 pairs of twillys. The drawers are transparent so I can see the designs

That's gorgeous!Silkies - I have finally found a great storage system for my silks. When arabesques first shared a photo of her " Chinese Chicken Coop" on her blog many moons ago, I became enamoured with the idea of an asian chest to house my silks. Then Masik had a brilliant post regarding the Kimono Tansu that seemed to fit the size and look that I needed for my bedroom. http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes/storing-my-scarves-91006-14.html
Living in an old house has space limitations for closets and furniture pieces. So off I went hunting for the Kimono Tansu that would have enough shelves to home my silks. Finally found a wonderful asian antique dealer who specializes in tansus of all types, ages and price ranges for my budget.
Here it is at long last, and I've yet to finish selecting the silks to display and store for the season. The process really helped me identify which silks I would reach for near term, and store the seasonal silks in the drawers below. The tansu also became a catalyst for redoing my entire bedroom, including ordering a new bed, painting and dressers and night stands to come.
S'Mom was such a great help to me - and I am so very grateful for her friendship and support in the process.
Hope this is of help to you all. The wood is Kiri wood and withstands humidity and I believe the light scent deters insects as well. Just a partial view of my silks as I am still going through my editing. More photos to come!
That is such a great idea. Love the tansu.Silkies - I have finally found a great storage system for my silks.

. I LOVE tansu and have 5 around the house, I think it is one of the BEST storage ideas around. And they look super and so unconventional, do they?!
