I have white coated wire closet-type shelving set into redwood frames in my greenhouse. I can lift it out when I do a thorough cleaning, and put it back in place. Have had it about 8 years, and it has held up well.

73 shirts??!!! WOW! I'm pretty sure my husband and I don't have 73 of anything combined! ;) I do try to purge a minimum of twice a year, and I do rotate hanging clothes into the black hole (well put!) out-of-season. I do like the shelf idea that ShadesOfIdaho posted to my flickr page, though. Maybe I can do shelves on the bottom and hanging clothes over the top? I'm not hanging any ball gowns that require full-height hanging space. It's certainly not the worst house-related problem to have, that's for sure. But it is just odd that they built them this way in every single bedroom. Black Hole or not, the relatively generous closets are the main reason we are still able to live in our small house (no attic, no basement, no garage).

To post pictures: 1. Open an account on a free picture hosting site such as Photobucket, Webshots, Flickr, etc. 2. Make your album "public" so others can see your pictures .....In Photobucket: Click on "Account Options" (top right corner) ..........Next, click "Edit Album Settings" ..........Then, where it says "My album is", be sure it says "Public" (if not, change it to "Public") 3. Using camera software that came with your camera or other software like Microsoft Picture Manager, resize the picture so it's less than 600 pixels in both directions. It's best to resize based on a percentage (like 20%) so the picture dimensions remain consistent (not stretched out vertically or horizontally!) 4. Upload the picture to your account (see #1) 5. If you use Photobucket, when you see your picture on the site, copy the link from the box labeled "HTML Code" (I don't know where the link is in Webshots, Flicker, etc.--I use Photobucket) .....[BTW...You can also resize your pic on the Photobucket site] 6. Simply paste the link from the "HTML Code" in your message...you're done! When you preview your message you will see the picture. Is this understandable??? [Please let me know if it's not so I can re-work the instructions!]

I have this corner of space that I really want to use the best way possible. Inside the bathroom I would like to access a portion of it for linen storage. I am thinking either a narrow deep closet space for the bathroom or just shallow open shelves along the whole width of the space allowing the rest of the depth to be used from another location. I would like to put the door to access this right on the corner of the dining room but that would mean a door, with trim, along that wall. It would then serve as extra storage for kitchen appliances that are not used a lot, or even extra storage for drinks, cleaning supplies, etc. Putting it in the hallway would perhaps be more aesthetically pleasing, but I do have designed right now that all my smart controls and thermostat go on that wall right where the door would need to be to access this space from the hallway. My question is, where would you put the door and how would you divide this space between bathroom and secondary closet storage? Edit: The closet space itself is 3' deep (if looking at it from hall or bathroom) and 2' 6" wide.
