Storage

One of the most important thing that I’ve been told by many to have in a house is adequate and proper storage space. Yesterday, I went to IKEA again. Yes, I’ve sort of became an IKEA regular the past 2 months. Have been getting a tad too much swedish meatballs and fried chicken wings in the process.

This time I went to get shelving units for my store room. And for people who don’t stay in HDBs’, or at least the newer HDBs’, the store room is usually the Bomb Shelter. Older HDBs’ bomb shelter is usually a common one somewhere at the 1st floor.

Anyway, I bought 3 shelves; 1 smaller one as a shoe rack and another 2 larger ones to store miscellaneous stuff.

Assembled shelves in the living room.

One small, two large

So time to move the shelves into the store room. No pics though, too busy moving stuff than taking pics. Can’t get a good shot of the store room as well as I have no space to maneuver the camera to a good angle.

Shoe shelf, NONE of the shoe/shoe box is mine
And I have another shoe rack somewhere

Big shelves.

With these shelves, the stuff in the store room is much more organized and more space is created as I can now do vertical storage.

Total damage for the IKEA shelves

• Shoe shelf = $35
• 3x Extra plank for shoe self = $21 ($7 each)
• 2x Big shelf = $90 ($45 each)

Now that everything is nicely stacked up, there’s space for Darren to bunk in when he wishes. Darren has booked my store room the first day he came and help me paint. Hehe.

You all must be sick and tired of hearing me say this but …… all is left is a sofa.
