I have craft stuff that I don't want out but I want to be able to see when I need it. I went by Big Lots and bought a bunch of the clear plastic boxes with opaque lids and plastic hinged closures on two sides and a handle on top. For lightweight items. When I remodeled this house I put in a shallow cupboard along one wall that has 10" or so deep shelves. The "doors" are the pass-by mirrored closet doors you see in bedrooms. I sorted out a lot of stuff a couple of years ago to fit most of my craft stuff in there. I need to make another sweep through because I know there is more stuff in there I won't use that I can stand to clear out. But I can see into all of the containers. There are also little three drawer cabinets (plastic) that work for small parts and they all fit on those shelves as well.

Do you have a hallway or the back of a deep closet where you could put in a set of the bracket and board supports, either up high, or even an entire wall of shelves, for those kinds of things?

I've turned a rolling set of shelves into my pantry so I have some deep cupboards in the kitchen that I should use now for some of the things I don't need to see or use often. Maybe that's where I should put the paint cans I rarely need. The bottom couple of shelves are almost impossible to reach without getting on your hands and knees.

Does that help?

Not this Friday but next, that's when the neighbor's garage sale will be. So I'll identify and have all of my stuff priced to go.
