1. Maximize storage by using walls with mounted shelving – especially in garages.
2. A hanging magnetic knife rack keeps sharp instruments orderly and within safe reach.  Clears out drawer space as well.
3. Open shelves are accessible but force you to edit.  When you see it, you know what you’ve got.  You forget what’s behind closed doors.
4. Go vertical.  Hang it up.  Keep floor space open.
5. Empty is ok.  You don’t have to fill every nook and cranny.  Free space is nice
