Hi,
in the continuing search for more room:
the door in the floor that is supposed to go to basement laundry basket as you walk up to the bed n' bath area.
we found a metal storage basket, plastic over wires, at Lowes home improvement store that just fit into place. it hangs down about into the basement area and we attached it some plastic loop wire holders and screws into the floor framing.
you can stack can foods about 2 cans high or store potatos and onions as the area stays cool. easy to get to from the kitchen area.
since we have a W/D in the bath closet, seemed kind of silly to send laundry to the basement.
anyhow, it works well
