Sweetie really increased our storage of not-used-that-often things by taking down the shelves in all closets and adding one and in some cases two more tiers. To have a professional closet design company do this is danged expensive.(and far prettier) I am so pleased with having a high up shelf that you can have bins for mittens and caps and not too often used clothing and seasonal decorations and not used often serving trays etc. AND FAMILY PICTURE Albums.
There are things that you probably STILL will want to keep that are not often used. I am surprised by how often I use things I didn't think I would.
I am not a huge clothes person, so our closets contain a LOT less than our northern closets held. Warm weather clothes take up less space and most can be folded rather than hung.
I think we are going to have to add another refrigerator in the garage. I miss the extra space I used to have when I am cooking or planning for holiday fun.
There is a new Premier model, the Seabrook, that has a room JUST for storage.
