Urban Storage Solutions

Our friends upstairs said that they are going to view living with children in a smaller downtown place as life on a boat. It was some good advice that we also decided to follow. The key is to create storage opportunities everywhere you can.

We had a big wall that cried out for floor to ceiling storage. We finally answered that call. Here' a picture of Finn excited about a blank wall.

You may notice the huge number of wall plates on the blank wall. Part of the new shelving was moving the outlets up to new access points, installing can lights, and installing a new dimmer switch for the can lights.

We aren't the only ones building new shelves. About the same time we did this (that'll show how old this "news" is) Jeff and Angela added book shelves too.

Here's the final product:

We got them from California Closets. They saleswoman said that they have only recently moved from exclusively closets to cabinets and shelving. The expansion has lead to many people, like us, in downtown expanding their storage options and their business is booming.

Finn decided that it was a good purchase and now can play with his toys in their storage location. He doesn't have to leave them out on the floor. We all appreciate that.
