Woodcraft suggests storage options to free up more indoor space at home

(MS) — Fall signals the coming of cool weather and more time spent indoors — the perfect opportunity to launch a major effort to store as much as possible out of sight and free up extra space for work/study, cooking/dining, exercise, or a family “hangout.”

Armed with a project or two in mind, visit the local Woodcraft store, check the Woodcraft catalog, or go online at woodcraft.com to get the tools, supplies and information you need for a successful “space makeover.”
