On Saturday I picked up a great racking system for $60 so I could move our Christmas decorations to the dirty basement. The rack is ~45" wide, 72" tall and 18" deep. Each shelf can hold 350 lbs.
On Sunday while my mom watched the kids I assembled the racking myself in about 30 minutes, and then hauled the rest of our stuff up and down the stairs.

After:
(I couldn't pick up the big air conditioner by myself to get it out of the picture and off the floor.)
I love the result, and am probably going to get another rack or two- one for the craft room to handle all the kids clothes and my fabric supplies, and the other for our basement coolers / tools / odds and ends. When we move, they'll be perfect for a basement pantry or garage storage. I really can't believe I didn't do this sooner!
We already had the book shelf that is now under the stairs (a freebee from my aunt) it fit perfectly, and while I had planned on using it at my moms for some toy storage, it fit so well here I couldn't find something better.
