Basically, it's a bookcase in a corner of the great room... I was going to
fill
it with 2 "normal" bookcases, but decided that we could pick up a little
storage
space by making it a 2' x 3' x 8' high "box" with bookshelves on the 2
outer
sides and the back for storage shelves...
I'm thinking small castors, mostly hidden by the footboard... roll it out
when
ya need to but stays hidden the rest of the time..


Reminds me of a kitchen we had at a house that we bought many years ago. We
had no storage for lids in the kitchen. It was a small kitchen and there
were no easy solutions. It had a drop in range and the only solution was to
build something under it. It had a recessed toe kick area with the molding
under the cabinet.

So I go poking under there with a screwdriver and flashlight to see if there
was any way to build something under there. I found a small crack and stuck
my screwdriver in it. I pried a little and was surprised that it moved. So
I go to work loosening this panel under the stove.

Well I worked at it a while and got it out from the stove a bit, I grabbed
it and pulled. To my astonishment, a drawer (on four small casters) rolled
out from under the oven.

Someone had already built the drawer I was thinking of building. I lived
there for two years before I discovered it. The people who sold us the
house did not know about it. It was well camoflauged. You would never be
able to tell by looking at it.

It was the easiest home repair I ever did! My wife had it full of lids and
pushed back under the stove in a matter of minutes.
