Shed or Garage Organization

We don't have the luxury of a garage at our house, we just have a small garden shed.  We also have very limited inside storage in our little house, so we need to make the most of every square inch of storage in our shed.

My solution:

  • Stacking rubbermaid storage bins - labelled
  • Rack shelving systems
  • Hooks on the wall
  • Garden tool storage caddy (Lee Valley Tools - $50)

Gadget drawer organization

With very limited drawer storage in our original kitchen, we needed to turn a deep pot drawer into organized storage for all of our kitchen gadgets, including knife storage.

My solution:
Together with my partner Rich, we designed and constructed a custom gadget storage system from plexiglass, complete with a sliding top section for the in-drawer knife block.  This solution allowed us to function in the original tiny kitchen until we saved up our money to do a full kitchen remodel.

The knife tray slides from side to side on a rail system.
