Moving every 2 years can be dicey. Our Army quarters have been from 1,000 sq ft all the way up to over 4,000 sq ft so we have to be able to fit all our "junk" in either size. One trick I love (and is dirt cheap) is to buy a cheapo outdoor trash can (no wheels) and buy a 3 legged "designer" table with round circle top (about $7). Now, throw the 3 legs away and put the round wood circle top on top of the trash can. Cover with a pretty 70" round tablecloth and you have a big trash can (clean) for your out of season clothes, down parkas, bedding, etc.
In your dining room make a "buffet" out of plywood and use 2 file cabinets or whatever to hold the plywood. Put a pretty tablecloth on top (floor length). Store Rubbermaid huge bins underneath. It gives you a great place to serve from at a buffet dinner and when you need stuff, just lift up the cloth. I've done this for "low priority items" that I didn't want taking up valuable storage space.
