| Just added a second story, the stairs were built outside of my existing family room so as not to use space in the room. The plans called for a wall separating the stairs from the den, but after the framing, I thought this was a great space for open storage like maybe for electronics; i.e. t.v., vcr, dvd player, stereo, etc. The space is 44 inches deep so probably enough space for storage behind also.
Any suggestions on where to look to plan such a unit? |

| I'd use it as storage. Use full extension pull out slides and build your shelves to fit. Either leave the face of the shelves open or add a panel to accent the interior decor so that the shelves are hidden from view. Or do something like this http://pipsplate.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/dsc02214.gif or this or this |

| I just bought this book at Lowes. Making Room -- Finding space in unexpected places by Wendy A. Jordan It has an enitre chapter dedicated to ideas for under the stairs. You should try to find it. Chris |
