Adding a linen cabinet inside your primary bathroom is a convenient feature that homeowners love. It’s so nice to grab a fresh, fluffy towel without having to leave the room. An integrated linen cabinet can be built into the bathroom vanity, with the materials and style matching the vanity. Open shelving is an option as…
The transition from fixed to adjustable, and then to roll-out cabinet shelves has forever changed the way homeowners view storage in their kitchens. Whether you utilize roll-outs, pull-outs, or blind corner storage solutions, the list of options that can enhance storage is virtually endless. Today’s homeowners are looking for more exposed storage, such as open…
A few hundred years ago, homeowners had less “stuff” to store, but no one seems to want to go back to those “good old days”, so we need to tackle the storage problem. Kitchens are notorious for poor storage options, and many kitchen remodels are done expressly to tackle this problem. So here are some…
First off, use the space you have; just because the standard cabinets from the store stop 6 inches below the ceiling, doesn’t mean that has to be lost space. How about having custom cabinets built that go all the way to the ceiling? Another idea is having a shelf or cabinets built above the window.…
If your home has an unused space you might be familiar with the feeling of irritation whenever you enter that part of the house; why is it not pulling it’s own weight? You pay property taxes on it; you heat it and must (occasionally) clean it. Well, it’s high time you put a stop to…
If you don’t have a lot of room, don’t despair! Walk-in closets are like any other room in the house – they are not all the same size. They can be large and spacious or compact. The idea is to make it easier to organize and store your clothes, while making it quick to locate…
Most people would probably say they could use more storage in the kitchen. In many cases, what is actually needed is not necessarily more storage, but better use of the area available for storage. Since many homes are built with the bare bones basic cabinetry, the storage can be improved by quite a bit. One…
Everyone can use more space. Just look at garages with doors open, as you drive down a residential street this summer. It’s not just the concept of better storage; a house can feel too small, just because most of your possessions are out in the middle of the room, on countertops, or shoved up against…
I am always looking for ways to make a small (or even tiny) bathroom look good, and work! A small bath, no matter how small, still needs a place to put a few towels, a toothbrush, hair brushes, maybe a few band aids? Some are unbelievably small, but there really are solutions to all the…
Typical heavy sliding closet doors. There are a great couple of articles on built-in closets and wardrobe walls, from starcraftcustombuilders. There are a lot of homes built in the 70’s or earlier with tiny closets and those heavy, sliding closet doors that when open still block 1/2 of the closet; this can be very frustrating for…
