Storage Tips

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

Here are some helpful storage tips:

 

--Most kitchen cabinets are about 2 feet deep. Chances are the stuff in the back hasn't seen the light of day in years. Retrofit base cabinets with slide out drawers and its all easily accessible.

 

--Maximize the space above your cars. Install platform shelving 2 feet below your garage's ceiling to gain extra storage all around the perimeter, and still be able to open your car doors.

 

--Buy better bins. When it comes to non-display storage vessels, choose ones that hit the three S's: squared off, stacking and see through.

Great tips. I also need just to get rid of of items I do not use. If I do not use or wear something for over a year and I get rid of it but wouldn't you know it on the 14th month I need that something I just got rid of always seems to work out that way

Hey Girl, You  know so much, you should be writing a book about "Thinks that will help you daily"  Go for it.

Hi Krisitn,

Great tips for storage....I like the idea of clear plastic storage bins so you know the contents without having to open a box up.
