If you've exhausted all of your traditional resources for storage and still feel you need more, but really don't have enough, I have a few additional places to look for some.


 
Use your dining room as a library. If you don't already have some shelving, install some. Then crawl under your dining table and check out the available real estate there! If you have a rectangular table, you can always use a 1x6 or 1x12 board or plank to span the two ends of the table and create extra storage.


 
Check out your closets to see how much more you can organize them. The more organized, the more will fit! Don't forget the backs of the doors. With hooks on the inside of your closet doors you can create additional space for hats, scarves, or clothing.


 
Remember that there is usually lots of unused space closer to your ceiling. Try extending shelving or cabinetry all the way to the ceiling and using a library ladder to access it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really an advocate of freeing yourself from extra stuff, however if you're really desperate and you don't cook very much...the oven will hold more than you think!

Have a great weekend!
