i used a large net/ hammock type thing and hung it up above my bed and stored all my stuffed animals there.

Get rid of them, you don't need them!! They are dust collectors, and it's time to grow up. Just keep one or two.

no, some of them are collectibles, and most are ones i';ve had since i was a kid. I'm not getting rid of any.

Well then box them up and put in storage. The collectables shouldn't be on your bed anyway. They should be either stored or displayed nicely on a shelf.

I have tons of stuffed animals too. I keep them in multiple boxes in my closet, except for ironically, my 18 year old Cabbage Patch.

If you really want to display them I would pick a few that you really like and set up some shelves that are stacked vertically. I don't show off my dolls but I have an extensive collection of porcelain dolls that one day I may chose to display and that's the way I would do it. I think china cabinets are too grandma looking and the nets remind me of a nursery.

I bet you have Popples, Care Bears and a Glow Worm huh?

well, i HAD popples, but i lost them at some point, moving from one plae to another.. +( but i got a glow worm that doesn't wyite work and a couple carebears..

the best part of my room is the rainbow brite stove that i found at VV... =)

it looks too childish

i thought this was silly. all stuffed animals are going to look childish, no matter how they're displayed.

i got rid of mine two years ago, and thought i'd regret it.. but didn't.

i kept my top 3 for my own children later, but i don't miss them at all.

i agree with storing them safely if they're collectible.

if you're dead set on displaying them i'd get something like this

eh?? It gets EXTREMELY dusty underneath a bed. All that skin shedding, and dust mites, etc.
