6 ways to utilize the space under the staircase

Ever wonder what to do with the awkward space under the stairs? Here are some great ideas to inspire you.  

 

A lot of houses have stairs that lead from the garage to the main floor. The space below the stairs would be perfect to create an organized mudroom. Add tall cabinet and cubbies to keep everyone organized.

  

 Add drawers or doors to create much needed storage space. 

Add open shelves for displaying your books or your favourite collections.

Create a cozy home office. Add shelves for more storage. 

 Create a cozy nook to read a book or take a nap!

Target + Pottery barn = kitchen command center

I have been a little busy these days getting things ready for my daughters birthday party. I have come to realize I need a command center to keep track of activities, parties and things to buy all in one place. We also need a place for hanging Trisha's art. I bet there will be a tones once she starts kindergarten this fall. It would be nice to have someplace to organize the mail .

I think since we spend a lot of our time in the kitchen, The wall in the kitchen nook is suited best for this purpose.

Here is the inspiration. I love how ribbon trim has been added . What a nice finishing touch!

Here is the plan of attack. I already have the 12"x12" corkboard squares from target. I love the modular wall organizers from Pottery Barn.

Once I am done with the party. I am going to work on the project. Hope to upload the pictures soon.
