Storage Issues

With most old homes, we have a storage issue. There is one closet on the main floor and four tiny closets upstairs, one in each of the bedrooms.

This is causing us some issues, solved, we are finding, by Ikea and Kmart.

So far, we have bought a nice closet type cabinet for the bathroom from and an over the toilet thing from Kmart (that CJ is putting together right now) and a little cabinet for the kitchen for the canned goods.



We've considered lots of options to solve our problems with storage, and the answer we keep coming to is converting the upstairs into a three bedroom, from four. Most of the other townhomes in our association have had this done, and it is slick. Unfortunately, we just are not prepared to do that now.

In the meantime, we will be stuffing stuff wherever we can, and getting rid of lots of it. It seems the best answer.
