Pantry Shelves

Carmela Crawford tidied up her unruly kitchen pantry. She added shelves to increase storage space and organized all her kitchen gadgets and food items. Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt may have said it best: “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”

Stairwell Tool Shed

Joel Rambeaux is a painter and handyman by trade. When out of work during the pandemic, he decided to rework a small stairway in his apartment, which featured a lot of unused square footage.

Drawing inspiration from Family Handyman magazine, he transformed the space into a home for his tools. By creating custom caddies, he can easily grab the tools he needs for the jobsite. Color us impressed!
