Storage 15
Homes today, if anything, have too many rooms and too much space. Bath Cabinetry   442
But regardless of floor area, they never seem to have enough storage for Kitchen Cabinetry   443
the acquisitive families that occupy them. Instead of building a storage Finding Space   446
barn or even a new home, we’ll show you how you can increase the effec-
Shelving   448
tiveness of the space that you already have.
We start with bath cabinetry. In the old days, with pedestal-mounted Adding a Closet   452

sinks, about the only storage in the bathroom was the medicine cabinet. Organizing Closets   453
Replace that old sink with one or more lavatories in a multidrawer vanity.
One of the most popular remodels is the kitchen. Today’s kitch-
ens are as much about fashion as utility. If you feel a kitchen remodel
coming up, get to your local home center to check out the vast array
of options in kitchen cabinetry. We offer here a generic catalog of the
cabinets you will find.
If you feel your present home is bulging at the seams and impossibly
cluttered, go to a boat show for inspiration. Yacht designers, particularly
those of sailboats, have developed the art of finding more storage to the
ultimate degree. We offer a field guide to the possibilities you may dis-
cover in your non-floating home.
The most common, least expensive form of storage is plain shelving.
We offer solutions to the two most common questions: how to support
the shelves, and what distances they can span without sagging.
Bedrooms in many older homes are plenty large, but have no closets.
Adding a closet to an empty room corner is a project well within the capa-
bilities of the average handyperson.
Even if your bedroom already has them, organizing closets for maxi-
mum space efficiency is one of the least expensive and most gratifying
projects you can tackle.
