We use 'hidden' storage like benches and ottomans that open at the top, big stylish baskets, beds that you can store things under, shelves in closets, furniture with drawer space etc. I love the inspiration pics though. It's fun to dream:)God bless and get well soon xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-70674708231589233842012-01-22T16:45:35.706-08:002012-01-22T16:45:35.706-08:00Wow, you have been busy there in that cute cottage...Wow, you have been busy there in that cute cottage of yours Jessie! I'm impressed how you got that wall up. <br />I can totally relate with you about the lack of storage in a small home. Our stuff 'spills' out into all our rooms, so I'm looking for clever storage ideas, too. I end up using a lot of baskets...<br />I look forward to seeing your kitchen re-do!<br />- SusanSusan EvelynAndRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946796851012314106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-91910661180098443142012-01-22T14:32:56.342-08:002012-01-22T14:32:56.342-08:00Oh gosh, this was just perfect eye candy!

We pay for a storage unit but I hate that because we forget what's in it, or desperately need something out of it and the worst possible time.<br /><br />Oh, that and the spiders.Lori Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297328109318290291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-15938073027395326052012-01-22T06:53:30.800-08:002012-01-22T06:53:30.800-08:00You're a busy girl over there. What I thought ...You're a busy girl over there. What I thought was a quick kitchen makeover is taking far longer on my end too. That's DIY though! Love the closet inspiration. You and I are working with the same square footage. I'm still working on getting more organized but I will tell you that I seek storage in so many things beside my {tiny} closets...two storage ottomans, a trunk, built-ins, armoires, baskets, etc. I can't just bring something in that looks pretty...it needs to be pretty and stash some things! I also maximize the use of the insides of closet doors with hooks and pockets, etc., storage under beds. It's still a challenge and I'm working toward the day when EVERYTHING has a place to go. Can't wait to see what you come up with for your fancy new closet. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095579611035877956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-84857903473729364382012-01-22T04:11:13.361-08:002012-01-22T04:11:13.361-08:00Dear Jessie,

Luckily we have a large 1/4 acre lot for gardening. <br /><br />About organizing? <br />If we haven't worn it, used it or played with it in 6 months it's sold or donated. <br /> You did an awesome job on framing and dry walling! You're on your way. I look forward to seeing your future projects.Cheryl at The Cottage Timeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564276400110440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-29172872344886168142012-01-21T04:32:14.781-08:002012-01-21T04:32:14.781-08:00Fabulous inspirations!

Lots of our storage is built in; we have built in wardrobes in the bedrooms, which were here when we moved in but which we refurbished. We have a cupboard under the stairs, which needs shelving adding to make it more functional, and a loft which we are always dumping stuff in. We find the hard things to hide are cables for laptops and usb cables, though i recently bought a gorgeous chest to keep stuff like that in which we are constantly using.Samantha Nagtegaalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387593161972794260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782000723415583178.post-57661874895015829552012-01-20T06:57:24.570-08:002012-01-20T06:57:24.570-08:00Oh my, it looks like you have so much going on.

I designed closet systems for our house and then had our cabinetmaker build them all. It is seriously, the thing I love most about my house...money well spent, in my book.
