Under the stairs

??

6329 coats and a million shoes surely you are joking nobody could have that much stuff.
I shall stop being so bothered about my own assortment of clothes and shoes now as it is nowhere near that amount.

First thing you need to get done is clear away all that stuff one of the charity shops will come and collect it all for you if you give them a call. Good luck I am soon doing the same as I want to get some new carpet fitted soon.

Do you have a downstairs cloakroom? That would be really useful.

Blimey...how far do the stairs go up ? do you need oxygen ?.
I only have six coats and eight pairs of shoes.

Of course I don't! I was exaggerating for effect .

Joking 3nanny6? Surely not.
I believe there are GN rules about being totally serious at all times.

Look at the website HOUZZ for fabulous ideas. Also Ikea are great on storage. Definitely get rid of what you don't need. I always feel better after decluttering. If you haven't worn or used it for 2 years you probably never will.

AKA The Glory Hole according to my DM.

It was known as that in our house too Callistemon but when I said that to DS he nearly fainted. So did I when he told me what the definition is "these days"!

Back to the thread.... Ikea have a whole range of neat storage solutions for under the stairs. The units are graduated in height so that they make the most of the available space. Not too expensive either.

loopyloo - do you mean a toilet etc? Friends had a toilet room built into their under stairs space .
There's some method of getting rid of the smells etc.
Just thought of other friends who did the same thing.

Don't replace the stairs with an open staircase without risers. We had a new staircase recently and the carpenters said most of their jobs these days were replacing the risers in open staircases because people were fed up with the draughts and with dust, fluff and muck falling or getting kicked through.

Mind you, the dust and fluff that accumulates in our area is horrendous.

It's especially bad if the stairs are carpeted. My desk is under an open staircase going from the first floor to the roof and it's a nightmare to keep clean.

Chewbacca

Oh!
I won't ask what.

We always call it the glory hole.

I've never heard an under the stairs cupboard being called "A glory hole" before.

Mine is a wonderful walk in pantry/larder . All shelved out down to the most shallow bit at the bottom . Some of my neighbours have knocked theirs out to create a bigger kitchen and passage way but I love mine the way it is .

DD calls hers the cupboard of doom.

Ours is more like a black hole than a glory one.
