We CD only part time, esp. in toddler years when i get fed up with shaking nasty elephant poops into the toilet/all over the bathroom/on my foot :shifty :sick But still, we go through a lot of them somehow.
Looks like I'm heading to having two in diapers :sigh
With coin laundry. :sigh :sigh
Which is a whole lotta work! But what possibly bothers me most is that I don't have a nice way to store them :shrug3
They would take up two large dresser drawers, where they need to be neatly folded, and still they come unfolded and stick out, and jam the drawer :ph not working.
I have a diaper stacker too. Again, need to be neatly folded and only half fit in there, while the rest hang out on the shelf or whatever. I'm not loving it :no

Plus, with all the work I already do, folding diapers really seems like unreasonable labor :shrug3 I'm thinking of getting a nice covered hamper and just dumping them all in there. :think Two issues though: i'll have to bend over while holding a kid to fish out the last of them from the bottom, and i won't have a way of keeping tiny ones separate from the big ones :think
Two hampers? Elevated? :scratch

I currently have one of these (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&pwst=1&q=munchkin+organizer&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1333&bih=645&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=13300694522937653661&sa=X&ei=tSqXToPiIefi0QGVx-G1BA&ved=0CEAQ8gIwAQ) that I just happened to find at a tag sale. I didn't know what I was going to use it for at the time (I just figured there would be something :shifty) but it works great for diapers! The ones we use the most go at the top (pockets right now) and the in the compartments lower down there are prefolds in one, extra inserts/hemp doublers in another, covers in one, and underpants in one. With two kids you could just fill them all up. ;)

We have something similar to this - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-5-Drawer-Wide-Tower-White/15442448 - except ours is taller and all the drawers are bigger and the same size. If we can find another one that matches, I think we'll get a second one to go beside it for this baby. It works surprisingly well for us.

I have my diapers stored in baskets on a changing table (see here: http://www.sincerelylizblog.com/2011/hello-my-name-is-liz-and-i-am-a-cloth-diapering-addict/)

Could you get some baskets for the top of the dresser or something?

My oldest daughter is ALMOST potty trained, so I just keep a few fitteds and covers in one of her dresser drawers.

"Coming in February baby daughter's" diapers are all in baskets on the changing table. Makes it easy to sort them by type, and easy to find my favorites!

This is exactly what we did, but the reality is that the diapers sit in the laundry basket and I just grab them as I need them. Haha!
