Shelves, shelves, & more shelves

Stuff too valuable to throw away.....yet

A table next to our garage to family room door started out being a handy place to set down groceries from the car before taking them in the house.  But of c ourse as time went on items were left on it and then under it.  The items were piled on top of what was there and on top of what was under.  So when we tried to clear a pathway for my rented electric wheelchair it was more complicate than just putting stuff away.  We had to create a new storage scheme.

We've been happy with the Gorilla shelves from Sam's Club so we picked up another 48"w x 18"d x 84"h unit and put it where the table was.  That gives us all the storage we had with the table and leaves a nice, clear pasageway.  Now we need to figure out how to add some more bookshelves somewhere in the house to begin to take care of all the books lying around the house.

  1. It's the story of our lives...too much stuff!
    Looks like nice shelves. Recently we purchased several shelves and filled the spare bedroom downstairs with them clear to the ceiling. They are full and we're still looking for a place to put the books.....too much stuff!
