Downsized and making the best of my storage options
Not sure if this is the right place to post but we recently moved from a 2600 sq ft house with a 16x12 shed that was my domain (aside from the occasional wasp). I now have an amazing waterfront location in a wonderful neighborhood with my beautiful wife, but my storage is down to a 25"x24" closet and a 48"x30" closet.
That's it.
For the lawn mower, weedeater, leaf blowers, saws, power tools, shop vacs, and the big stuff, the ever growing detailing collection.
I don't have tons of pics but I got some of those sterelite drawers and a Plano plastic shelf today and had to modify it but the shoe hanger is my greatest innovation ever. I'm very proud of this and think that it will help lots of folks.
It cleared 2 of my 22x14 shelves and I am trying to stay organized not cluttered.
Any tips would be appreciated.
I'm also including some pics of my shelves i built into the outdoor storage closet. Attachment 27870Attachment 27871

The shoe hanger is a great idea.

Congrats on the new house! And great idea using a hanging shoe storage unit! Lot of weight hanging off the door though. You might want to make sure there is at least one long screw grabbing into the jack stud on each hinge.
Re: Downsized and making the best of my storage options
I'm always amazed at what one can do to reduce space when needed. At my previous house I had come from a 2000 sq ft garage with 3 bays to a 28'x32' garage. When I started every wall was lined with toolboxes, welders, cabinets, carts, ect.
I slowly got it whittled down to only one wall covered by storage 24" deep. :)
