Storage Ideas
Small Closet to Extra Pantry Space


Shannon Acheson Expert Blogger 1 Projects
The kitchen just isn’t big enough for the extra food, even with our expanded rolling pantry shelves.The recently made-over bathroom can’t hold all the extra toiletries either.
I’m not even going to mention our linen closet. (Postage stamp.)
So what to do? Fortunately we actually have a funny little closet up a few stairs just off the kitchen. It has sat half full of random items for the two years we’ve lived here.
Wanna see?
Are you ready for this? It’s pretty bad.
Two years it’s been like this.
But with just a weekend of work, it now looks like this.
So much better, yes?
It just goes to show that it’s possible to make better use of the space available.
