When I moved in here I doubled the closet space by using two tiers of wire shelving from Home Depot -- lots more room. Then I added a tier of shelving all around the garage at the ~7' mark -- totally out of the way and it stores a lot of stuff where I can see it without having to look too hard. I like my stuff stored in sight so I don't forget I already have one when I see something neat and think that I ought to get it -- out of sight, out of mind, BTDT.
