I dont blame you for looking I als have been looking at all the empty space. I have opened the area above the microwave and put in a shelf and adden extra shelves in the bathroom in the corner next to the sink they put no shelves and a huge cabnet and am now looking at the area under the two drawers it is empty except the outside shower so Iam going to put a fony wall in the back (w/extra insulation) and put in some more shelves. Need to find out where to get some doors or drawer fronts that will match.

A friend of ours just had a cabinetry shop make them a door that matched ...pricey I thought at $40 for a 21X13"

$40 sounds pretty cheap to me, especially if they finished it to match.

The cabinet was finished and looked exactly like the other ones, they did take one of their doors to the cabinet maker to make sure it matched.

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
on ward, grey ghost

I went to a dollar store that had plastic baskets that were the right size for the cabinettes above the dresser and in the main slide over the dining table and couch. The baskets allow me to put stuff in them and pull the whole basket out without leaning over something digging for an item. They also fit (when turned sideways) behind the blank panel between the doors.

John,

My Navigator acquired a folding card table leg brace and had me install it on that Cabinet door near the ceiling above the Fridg-
Since the door is hinged towards the ceiling having the thing stay open when you want it to really makes a difference. Montana & Co could or may already have picked up on this.

Bob & Lee.....I purchased drawer and door fronts from Montana through my dealer, so they match the existing ones. They were not too pricey.

you can get doors for your tv area in the bedroom from them also. They put them in the Bigsky so you cross ref. from there.
