Its a losing battle for me because while I keep explaining to my wife we are in the liquidation phase of our lives she continues to buy things because they are great "sales". and to add insult to injury I still can't get her out of the habit of saying " you just don't know when you might need this." So despite a major reduction of furniture, et al when we moved from Minneapolis area and I am talking about many truck loads I find myself going nuts again finding places for her to store stuff. I am admittedly prone to organization and don't like to see much of our stuff.
so like many of you I added extra shelves in the closets. I purchased furniture with an eye for storage. I installed white cabinets in my garage to hide everything including brooms, etc. I still have plenty of room for my two cars and golf cart. By the way a neighbor of mine had the habit of leavng his car parked outside until he discovered rats were using it at night.
I also had space over my garage attic I install additional cabinets in the laundry room. finally like many of you I continue to reconfigure each and every area of storage to determine if there is a better pattern. God this be patient and please the wife venture alone should get me into heaven.
